Great news, Skypainter!
Let's all hope for good weather and great times.
In keeping with the relaxed nature of this event, there are few specific agendas, but lots of great things to do from the area.
-Don't forget to bring a camera, if you're a photography buff - bring the good one.
-Local touring - by bike or car, the ride out towards Land's End on Baileys Island is a very scenic rolling coastal route which crosses the only cribstone bridge in the country. A must-do trip if you aren't familiar with the area.
-Shopping - Freeport outlets, local shops, and a Walmart two miles away for that piece of cheap interim gear you suddenly need when you realize you didn't pack your stakes and line.
-Paddling - large tidal flats and estuaries right from the beach. Several other launch points nearby.
-Critter watching - Osprey on site, herons and egrets common. Might be early for horseshoe crabs, but there will be shells.
-I will be making a pilgrimage to the Kennebec Fruit Company in Lisbon, ME for a can of Moxie with Frank. Frank is the owner, Moxie champion, sporadic character in Steven King novels, and everything wonderful about the term eccentric. Yeah, it is a weird activity - but I'm weird to look forward to it every time I'm in the area.
-The traditional 'Tossing of the Pancake' event
-Music jamming - got an acoustic instrument? Bring it camping.
