B took us to a very interesting shop, Liberty Tool, not far from our camp site.
It was filled to the brim with tools and other old interesting things.
I am pretty sure they would have just about anything you might be looking for...do you have a tool with a broken handle?
Do you need a hammer?
Or maybe a saw?
It was a great place to browse.
The first floor was pretty much all tools but the upper three, yes there were FOUR floors to this place, had more variety. There were lots of books but we also saw an unusual piano, an early style bike, and a huge floor loom, and a number of things that I have NO idea what they were.I liked that most items were displayed in old wood crates of all sizes.
If you are ever in the area it is definitely worth a stop. There is even a great ice cream shop around the corner. They make all their ice cream on site.
Boats
My posts about our trip to Maine wouldn't be complete without a post on boats.
We saw lots of boats.
So many different boats.
Can you tell I loved the shore?
I have a couple of other fun places to share with you next week.
Maine - hiking in Camden Hills
Yesterday I told you about what was down hill from our campsite. Today we go up the hill.
There are many trails in the park but we had limited time so we chose the trail to the highest point, of course.It was a steep climb and we were trying to make it to the top for a sunset view. Some of us got tired and waited at a spot near the top with a great view and a few wild blueberries while the boys dashed to the top.
I let them take the camera so we could know what we missed.
Beautiful. (Our view was similar just not from the very top.)
You can see Camden there at the bottom.
Maine - on the shore
While in Maine we camped at the Camden Hills State Park. Our campsite was a short walk from the shore.
The Maine shore is very rocky.
So. many. rocks.
The rocks are great for climbing
and skipping.
I do love the places where water and land meet.
I had a lot of fun taking photographs -over a thousand pictures of the trip!
I'm just warning you that there might be a couple more posts on our vacation.
