ARRIVAL IN CARIBOU, MAINE

We arrived at Caribou, Maine on Sunday, June 10th just in time to attend the night service.  The church is having a revival which will continue through Wednesday.  The evangelist is very good.  Monday is a work day.  There are two other RV MAPS couples here.  Allan hung sheet rock, put in a floor in the attic and installed insulation and vapor barrier.  I worked two days mudding.  The church ladies bring us fresh baked goodies for break at least 3 times a week and we were invited to a member's house for supper last night.  Pastor Tony and his wife Angela cooked out for us one night this week.  Everyone is such a good cook around here.  So much for the weight loss plan.  Because they are waiting for the electrical inspection, the RV'er took Friday off and Ray our project superintendent drove us around northern Maine and just to the border of Canada.  We had lunch at Fort Kent.  Fort Kent is the beginning of US Highway 1 that runs from the Canadian border to Key West, Florida.   Even though we did not see any moose, the trip  had beautiful houses and fields and lakes along the way  We saw many potato field

 For the last month we have had rain almost every day.  At the start of just a few light rain drops Katie always heads for behind the couch.  With all this rain, she has finally overcome her fear of the rain.  I am sure if we had a very bad storm or hail she would hide, but now she is a brave little kitty.

Now to catch you up from our last post.  We spent 3 days in the church parking lot in Damariscotta.  We visited the towns of Rockport, Camden, Bar Harbor and Bristol.  We got a picture of the light house in Bristol at Pemaquid Point.  These beautiful wild flowers of Maine are called Lupins.  We also saw Fort William Henry at colonial Pemaquid.

We moved from the church to Pumpkin Patch Campground near Bangor where we did our last big shopping and stocking up before heading for the project for three months.  Allan downloaded more books on his Nook at Barnes and Noble.
