A few weekends ago, we went on our first Maine camping trip to Cobscook Bay State Park.  The campground is way “Down East” (or…”Up North” to us Michiganders) along the coast – about 3-1/2 hours from our house.  Had a great little view of the bay from our site.

The next morning, we got up to go exploring.  It was blazing hot that day, but we managed to make it up for this great view.

Kramer was so tired after all the hiking and heat, he didn’t even want to stand to drink his water.  We were feeling about the same.

Cool Drink

Cobscook is near the Easternmost point in the U.S. – West Quoddy Head Light, Lubec, Maine.  This was a beautiful spot with one of the best coastal hikes we’ve done yet.

We didn’t get up in time to see the sunrise.  But, as good luck would have it, we didn’t miss much that day.  The fog was so thick, we wouldn’t have seen it anyway.  But, all the fog made for a beautiful, mystic hike along the rocky shoreline.

We made it through the whole weekend without any rain.  Can you believe it, Sherri? haha.  Lucky this trip, I guess!  As always, by the third day, we were ready to get home to a shower and a real bed.  So, we headed home early Sunday and had plenty of time to relax at home that night.  Great weekend!
