Now is a good time to mention that we are hoping on having a mini-rally here in Maine this summer. It is a great place to be (in the summer) and there is a lot to see.
We could do a couple of days in Boothbay Harbor and a couple of days in Bar Harbor.
It could turn into a larger event if folks are interested.
What say you?
Jim
A Maine mini sounds good to me. Looks like July and August are the warmest months.
The bride and I were talking about doing a short road trip early summer to Maine, Nova Scotia and PEI. We will probably do this in June or very early July given our Colorado trip planned for the first of August.
Ok, Jennifer has Maine very high on her list...in fact, I talked her out of a fall trip a couple of years ago until we bought a bus. So we have that base covered now.
What is the famous park on the coast up there? She has read a lot about it and wants to go so we would definitely be interested.
Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor or Bah Hahba as the natives say (right Jim)
That would be the one.....Quote:

OK, Skiffer, we're in. Pick a date and tell us where to make resverations. Jan has been pushing the PEI deal for awhile now so what the heck, it ain't but 2000 miles from the farm.
Jen and I are interested, but will need to know dates etc. We love Maine and have been trying to come up with a reason to go that way.
Hey Jim,
I suspect you may end up with a bigger rally than you planned.
That sounds great! I'll look at some dates and post them.
July and August is our summer.
Jim
We plan to be in Maine this summer, so a rally sounds great to us!!
How about Bayley's Camping Resort near Scarborough? They have a great new section for big rigs...
So, I guess the last week of July and the first week of August pretty much cover both weeks of summer ?:eek:Quote:

Depending on the date we're in. We have room (in NJ) for anyone who wants to stop over on the way up.
The mind wants to be there, now I have to work on getting the two bodies there. July huh? well we'll have to work on that one.
Be careful not to pick July dates that will conflict with Oshkosh the 25th through the 28th.
I may be up for this too. Can we hang with George H in Kennebunkport?
Just might be possible for us if it's after Oshkosh. Mike, I'm with you, hangin' with George would be a treat.
Deb, Eric and Jay are interested. We are planning to be in Nova Scotia the end of July/ beginning of August anyway, so a visit to Maine on the way up would be great!
Deb
Maine good for Linda and Me...dates determine final decision...best to all...shookie
We will be in Canada for the summer, but could drop into Maine for a Rally, but need to be in Nova Scotia the last week of July to meet up with Eric and Debbie for Folk Harbour Festival in Lunenburg. We are tentatively planning a tour of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island to follow that.
If anyone else in interested in joining us let me know, we may psudo-waggon-master a tour of Nova Scotia.
What about celebrating the 4th of July in Maine?:)
THE place to be on the 4th of July is Bristol, RI!Quote:

Check it out! The 225th Bristol, RI Fourth of July Celebration
July 4th weekend in Bristol, RI is an incredible experience!
We are working on this and are really excited about POGGERS coming to Maine.
A new member " Woody " has arranged for dry camping at Owls Head Transportation Museum between 7/10/10 and 7/17/10. We will choose a couple of days during that time. Thanks Tad.
So right now we are trying to get spaces in Boothbay and Bar Harbor.
This will be a summer blast! More as we find out what is available.
Pictures at Cow Shit corner are extra but can be arranged.....For a fee. :D
Jim
Look forward to it!
My wife wants to go so I guess I will see you in Maine pending business.
The wife and I had planned on a trip to Maine the 1st part of August but I would like to attend the get together, so I'll see if she wants to give up another month of her summer in Gig Harbor.
Skiffer,
Since you own the Maine Rally, lucky boy, are we now considering a window between July 10 and 17? If possible, we need to nail down some dates so plans can be made. Are the campgrounds you mentioned still open for reservations this time of year or are they shut down?
Who Dat!:cool:
This is our tentative schedule:
Tuesday July 20: Boothbay
Wednesday 21: Dry Camp at Owls Head Transportation Museum near
Rockland Maine
Thursday & Friday22 & 23: Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park
I'm still working with the Boothbay campground for details and availability.
(Seems they went south for the winter. :eek:)
Has POG 9 dates and location been worked out.

Mr. Skiff, I went on POG, clicked on the Website for Shore Hills Campground, called Jean at 207 380 6375, she answered her phone and is in Fl. right now, downloaded the sheet to fill out our information, wrote the check and mailed the reservation form, advised her I knew Jim Skiff and we were members of POG. I think Karen and I are in. If I can get more time off this afternoon I will register for the next Campground. Easy as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
