Free Camping During Project Week
It’s a Huckleberry Finn sort of thing… It’s so much fun to do Spring chores…wouldn’t you like to enjoy some free camping in exchange for help with our to do list? Everyone is welcome to share…paint, build, rake, tend the fires, cook, organize and celebrate our wonderful community! For our 29th annual Ship Shape Weekend…we’re…

This is wonderful.
The best piece of advice I heard in 2022, while working in the studio, was from the 10% Happier Podcast: Stop and recognize happy moments when you’re in the middle of them. Literally stop and say out loud, “This is a happy time.” It’s a way to ground yourself in the joyful parts of your…

Walk with me
It’s been a beautifully warm and dry spring. In the past couple of weeks we’ve hosted many more guests than we usually see before Memorial Day Weekend. Some years I cringe at the thought of sharing our muddy roads and cold fog with people who have traveled so far to be with us; but this…

Choosing a campsite
Now’s the time when the reservations start flooding our world…the sun is shining, the tents and RV’s are begging to be opened up and aired out. In the Spring, most of my morning and evening work hours are spent in front of the computer, answering e-mails, returning phone calls and booking sites. This is…

Pictures of campsites and a desperate plea for a photo filing system!
I’ve been looking for a postcard image since I made coffee two hours ago and still no luck…but as I slog through the pictures, I spend most of my time smiling because of the memories they bring back. Because it’s reservation season and we seem to have more “new” guests than we’ve ever had, I…

Spin-in in Newport
Saturday was the quintessential Maine winter day…not a cloud in the ski, visibility for miles and air so crisp you want to breath deep because even locals can smell the fir trees on days like this. You may have read my post before about Brooks Maine…well Saturday I drove Rt 7 straight North, through Brooks…

And another new project…
Between you and me, I wish it would get cold and snow because I’m tired of new projects and that tiny little voice that keeps nudging me to take advantage of our unseasonably warm weather (think 50’s, not 70’s). But alas, it’s still really nice out and this morning Steven was outside working with a…

50’s-60’s Celebration
We got together this morning for pecan Cinnamon rolls and coffee…just to catch up a bit and talk about the months to come…but as always, the subject drifted to camping…and then to “what are we going to do next summer?” And the 50’s-60’s weekend was born…just like that. Tentatively slated for July 30-August 1, Searsport…

Seining for Knowledge
The Penobscot Bay Watch has been collecting information this fall to establish the importance of the upper Penobscot Bay fish nurseries. Their blog is one of my “must reads” and one of the only RSS feeds I subscribe to. Although we’re not able to stay as active as we’d like, we do manage to participate…
