Our Time in Maine is Coming to an End

We had an uneventful drive to Houlton, just how we like them:-)  We were here last time in 2022 and had found a take out place we really enjoyed and wanted to go back to, Craig's Clam Shop.  It is a long way 38 miles away, but it was worth it again.

Delicious scallops, haddock bites, and onion rings
We had to eat in the truck since it was raining

We stayed at the KOA there and had a nice site, large and grassy, and after the last place with all the dust, the grass was very welcome.

It's new potato time in northern Maine so we went out to find some.  We remembered from our previous visit that there are self serve stands all over the place so we headed out to find yellow and red new potatoes, and after checking out, oh maybe 15 stands we finally zeroed in on one and got a bunch!

Then off to Greenville and Moosehead Lake, we enjoyed yet another homemade lobster roll for lunch on the way:-)  We were going to a fairly new campground we had never stayed at before, Moose Creek, and we have to say it might be the very best park we have ever been to.  It's a big place, well taken care of, sites are huge, and quite private, lots of amenities, tons of walking, quiet and dark.  Although the roads are not paved they might as well be, the crusher run they have on them has turned them almost into asphalt, and the sites have a stone covering that is clean, smooth, and doesn't puddle, incredible.

Our enormous site

We went to the B52 Memorial set on the crash site of a B52 in 1963, it was interesting and moving.

The next day, pretty gloomy and rainy we went out for a meh lunch, although they did have a very good seafood chowder, the name not worth mentioning.

And a gloomy view out over the lake.

Followed by a sighting of a unique animal only found in the local area.

And then our last day in Greenville was beautiful, so we splurged on a fantastic seaplane ride, only marred by the Canadian fire smoke, around the whole lake, it is huge!  In fact, it is the largest lake in Maine at nearly 118 square miles.

It was a very enjoyable flight, and astonishing as it sounds, it was the very first time I had ever been a seaplane in all my flying experience.
