Lake Pemaquid Campground was selected for its proximity to the Darling Marine Center where Kelly is doing research this summer. It is close, but aside from that it is not a place I'd choose again. The campground has many sites, many of which are taken by seasonal campers. These have added decks, gardens, and various decorations to their sites, which makes for an amusing walk around the park. The sites are quite close together, and the facilities include Chucky's Choo-Choo (train ride for the kids), a skateboarding park, store, snack bar, boat rental building, miniature golf, large halls for events on rainy days----about anything you'd be looking for in a fun family vacation.
Our site is on cul-de-sac somewhat distant from all the above attractions, with only 3 other sites occupied. So while the site is rocky, uneven, and small, it does have some privacy.
Kelly came over last evening with Rossi, and we all went to a local lobster pound for dinner. We ate outside on the deck with a great view of some beautiful boats. It had been quite awhile since I had lobster---what a treat! The dogs were well-entertained, watching the many people who were there. The regulars know to bring their own beverages, appetizers, and so forth, and just order a lobster.
Today will be a quiet day of catching up on emails (now that we have a strong cell signal again), grocery shopping, cleaning, and relaxing. Kelly will be coming by again for dinner before heading to Boston to catch a plane to Friday Harbor in Washington State. As she heads west tomorrow, we'll be heading south to the Boston area.
With a strong internet connection now, I'll add a few photos:
