Early breakfast and said goodbye to the Monroe's. Misty a.m. and left on Massachusetts Turnpike for the coast. Drizzling most of the time. So many old, beautiful homes around – 1700 and 1800. Very cool and certainly not summer weather. Made error. Drove inland in Massachusetts and cut to coast in New Hampshire. Went to huge antique store. Saw much and pretty good prices, but most too awkward to carry with us. New Hampshire just reeks with the past, and the little we saw of it we loved. Went to the beach and for the second time touched the Atlantic Ocean. Drove up coast to Maine.
Saw many elegant old homes – in fact, estates. Had lunch and then on to Portland. Drove to Bradbury Mountain State Park.
A perfect gem: many trees, hence much privacy. Free wood. Stayed the night. Made campfire and then began to rain.
7/27/69, Bradbury Mountain State Park, Maine. End of the week!
