To me, heaven would be to find a little cabin for a week in a very quiet place and just sit at the shore in contemplation. Instead, this is more of a reconnoitering trip. Beautiful nonetheless.<br /><br />I hope your trip to the Maritimes is lovely -- another place I'd like to visit.<br /><br /><br />FDC: Had we gone further up the coast, I imagine it would've been quieter. Unfortunately, I did not see much ME coast, and am inland NH now.<br /><br /><br />Hello to bb.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839236994990699117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-11996852180756203902010-08-18T03:11:35.673-07:002010-08-18T03:11:35.673-07:00Excellent stuff, if it were me, I'd still be t...Excellent stuff, if it were me, I'd still be there.<br /><br />Here's some pix from my world, the bike is mine.

We had a little rental house in Netarts but spent most of our beach time in Oceanside, both along the west side of Cape Meares. Beautiful, relatively lonely part of the coast.FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-31271459438405175682010-08-17T17:25:24.687-07:002010-08-17T17:25:24.687-07:00Chief, do I recognize those rocks as being near Ca...Chief, do I recognize those rocks as being near Cape Meares? Get some razorback clams with your eggs tomorrow, cooked up a la James Beard. <br /><br />Liza; don't miss Gloucester and Cape Anne before you head north. I hope to be in Maine myself in September and maybe New Brunswick. PS - As a former Maine-iac I would say the best bargain in fishing towns on the Maine Coast are Lobster Rolls on the pier. Just a plain hot dog roll stuffed with bits and pieces of lobster that lost one or both claws (so are not so salable) and then slathered with mayonnaise. They can't be beat. Used to be less than a buck, probably a fiver by now. But get them right at the pier where they unload the lobster catch. Of course they are nothing like the lobster dinners and clambakes but those were budget busters in my memory unless you had a friend in the trade.<br /><br />I am camped on the Whitefish River in Michigan's Upper Peninsula heading for Sault Sainte Marie tomorrow. No ocean but perhaps a whiff of the Atlantic when a Lake Superior bound ocean freighter goes through the locks.mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-80295695007065389482010-08-16T17:43:20.853-07:002010-08-16T17:43:20.853-07:00Breathtaking montage -- thank you!
