Old Orchard Beach

Friday, Sept. 30th.  It rained last night...hard!!  We took Buster out for his evening 'constitutional' between cloudbursts.  As I was picking up his 'constitutional results' the sky opened up and we got soaked as we ran back to the motorhome.

The next morning the rain and all clouds were gone.  We had a two hour drive down to Old Orchard Beach.  Once we got settled into our campsite, we took Buster to the Beach.  It's a beautiful sandy beach which stretches for several miles.  Nobody was swimming because the water is very cold...55.
Di w/ L.L.Bean

Yes, this is a McDonalds
We took Buster back to the motorhome and went to Freeport, Maine, about 20 miles north of our campground.  Freeport is the home of L.L. Bean.  And there's outlets for dozens of other companies.  The L.L.Bean store(s) complex is huge with a clothing store, camping store, home store and a restaurant.  Even the McDonalds in Freeport was the most unique I have ever seen.  We finished the day with a wonderful baked Haddock dinner at a tavern in an 1800's era hotel.
