It reminds me.... friends had a farm near Acton. It was just the acres land that were farm accessed. The farm house burned down in the fire of -- was it 1949? That fire burned from the coast to New Hampshire.

Anyway, we would bring tents and sleep in the field. At night, the Milky Way would appear. We can't see ithe Milky Way in New Jersey. I saw it again in Bar Harbor.

Yes, I'll be back.

Bob's Clam Shack in Kittery, Ogonquit's Marginal Way, evening harbor cruise out of Portland.... too much to not see and do again.
