After Spain, I spent a little time back home in KY and then headed back to Maine for a solo camping trip and to spend time with friends. On my way to Acadia National Park, I visited The Lost Kitchen in Freedom, Maine. We’ve been trying to win The Lost Kitchen dinner reservation lottery for several years but it’s next to impossible to get in. Erin French has turned this into a really nice business. The property has a great retail store and small cafe that attracted many more folks than I anticipated.<\/p>\n
Acadia National Park was much more crowded than I expected after Labor Day, so I cut my trip there from three days to two days and spend the remainder of my time in the Portland area–mostly watching football and golfing. I had an OK time at Acadia’s Blackwoods Campground, with the highlight being just relaxing and cooking a couple of gourmet campground meals (see pic above). <\/p>\n
Still, the weather was magnificent—mid 70s the entire time I was there. I definitely miss this time of year in Maine and will continue to make Maine my primary destination for most future trips. While I was up there, my friends and I were trying to determine our next foreign or domestic traveling destination–still undecided. However, Stephanie and I already have plans to travel to California later this month–so keep an eye out for a post or two on that trip.
