We wanted to see Maine, so we drove up from Massachusetts. We read about a Christmas Tree farm that welcomed temporary visitors. Here we are parked overnight (no electricity). The next day, our hosts were very kind and gave us breakfast and sent us on our way. Next stop: Bar Harbor. Image processed with GIMP.
