Summer in New England - Roadtrip 2012 - Day 7

Today we woke up from our chilly night of camping in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and packed up camp. We went about 20 miles down the road to the Conway-North Conway area and found a Starbucks where we sat and caught up on blogging, charged various electronics, and waited for a knitting shop in North Conway (Close Knit Sisters) to open at 10 am. At the knitting store, Katy bought a kit to make a headband and some circular needles. When we left Conway-North Conway, we headed for the Maine state line near the town of Fryeburg, Maine. We stopped just on the other side of the Maine border at a travel information center and met a nice lady who told us about some cool things to see in southern Maine and told us about a place to camp on the Maine coast near the ocean. We took her advice on some of the things she told us and went through Naples, Maine to see a little quilting shop at a bed and breakfast, then went to Standish, Maine, near the southern tip of Sebago Lake to find Korner Knitters. At Korner Knitters Katy bought a couple of skeins of yarn and a pattern for a hat. We also took up the lady's advice on where to camp and we headed to Recompense Shore Campground near Freeport, Maine, where we were able to find a very-private campsite with an ocean view. They also had a shower house and laundry so we cleaned our clothes and ourselves before going back to nearby Freeport for supper at the China Rose. Freeport was a town full of outlet malls and restaurants that was cool to walk around on foot. Freeport is also home to the L.L. Bean flagship store. After supper and walking around Freeport for a little while we went back to our campsite and settled in for the warmest night Maine had all year up to this point, a low of only 63 degrees. We had great slow-paced day with lots of breaks and resting. Looking forward to travelling out to the Maine coast tomorrow! Here are our pictures from today!
