Day 222 - Outboards

Locke Mills, ME view map

We had a great first full day of vacation. The weather for most of the day was perfect. Only in the late afternoon did the clouds come in (just as we came in off the water from a family canoe, kayak, and raft tour of the lakes) and a little rain ensued (very little, it stopped as soon as the camper next to us broke out a tarp to cover his firewood). These boats are right beside us (through the trees). I've not seen anyone use them, I'd know if they did as all of them are full of water. In fact, that tube that is sticking out of the back of the boat is from a siphon pump that has not been used in a while. That material you can kind of see in the foreground is this tarpish material that is covering the boat launch. It appears to keep the vehicles from sinking into the soft sand and getting stuck. It has been here since we first came here about 9 - 10 years ago (at least). This is, however, only our third time here and only the first time with the kids. I'm not sure how we've kept the kids from this place for so long, there is a lot to do that doesn't involve a computer, amusement rides, or Television. The two youngest spent pretty much most of the morning and early afternoon at the beach (just beyond the boat dock in this photo). After their beach fun, we hit the water on the Canoe and kayaks. We towed my son in a little blow up raft behind us which was a lot more work than I'd thought.
