Miller Time in Maine

 May 27 - June 2, 2026

When I received the call that my dad was in the hospital, Harold and I had some choices to make. We decided to fly me to Virginia, and Harold would stay with the coach. The idea was that I would be able to fly back in time to join our long-awaited Eastern Canada provinces tour. Ultimately Harold ended up joining me in Virginia for my father's funeral while our coach vacationed in Maine. We were quite grateful the campgrounds were able to work with us as we changed reservations again and again.

So during the first week that I was gone, Harold met up with two friends of ours. Alden, a fellow kiteflier from the greater Washington, D.C. area had moved to Maine several years ago. John, a friend of ours from King George days, was in Maine on business. At least Harold was able to have some company that week. Plus, he got a sneak peek at Acadia National Park.

Maine Snippets

 May 19 - 28, 2026

We were in the Saco Old Orchard area of Maine for Memorial Day. The heated pool at the campground was open, but it was mostly kids who braved the cooler temperatures. 

Nearby was Freeport, ME. So I naturally wanted to head to L.L. Bean. Not just one store, it was a complex of stores. Some of which was undergoing a renovation. At least they moved the bootmobile to where we could get photos. 

We are whoopie pie fans. Maine and Pennsylvania have a spirited competition as to whom invented the whoopie pie. We're on Pennsylvania's side, but we did feel obligated to give the Maine version a taste test. The whoopie pies are similar in taste. However, Maine wrappers have a much more commercial feel to them.
