Boothbay Harbor Camping

Gray Homestead Campground

We left early Friday morning so we had time to stop at Cabela's, off Exit 42 (don't forget EXIT 42), if you miss it, like I did you can backtrack from the next exit. We grabbed a few things, all on sale!

Our Mission, to reach 1500 caches Saturday. We needed to find 12 today to reach this goal, we did! In our usual fashion, we snuck in the back way into Reid State Park. ($14 entrance fee HMMPH) There is a Snowshoeing series there, although we did not need snowshoes, it was a really nice hike!
