We headed out this morning toward Augusta and stopped at a brewpub in Hallowell called the Liberal Cup. They had beers with very interesting names. State Budget Red will be on tap in a week or so. Jim had an Ex Wife Extra Bitter.
We got to the Blueberry Pond Campground in Pownai, just outside Brunswick, Maine. When we pulled in, the Casita from Washington state that was at Acadia National Park was there. They got here last night while we were at Belfast. We unhooked and started to drive to Freeport and we met the Washington people as they were returning to their Casita. We stopped to talk to them on the road.
We continued on to Freeport and went to L.L. Bean. This is the headquarters and the biggest store they have. The complex consists of several different buildings, one for home, one for hunting & fishing, one for water sports and one for clothes, shoes, and camping. Jim bought a canvas shirt and a new pair of hiking boots. The heel of his hiking boots had come loose and flops around.
We had a beer at Gritty McDuff’s and then drove through Brunswick to Topsham and had a beer at Sea Dog Brewing. This brewpub was really neat. It was in an old mill on the banks of the Androscoggin river and the dam. Because of the recent rains in the area the water was spilling over the dam and the river was very full and very fast. We had a couple of beers and shared some potato skins. We returned to the Casita and I fixed dinner and we watched an old western with Dean Martin.
