Timberland Acres to Searsport

July 30, 2021

Oops. It rained all night long. And I mean all night. Although no water got into our tents, everything was so damp. And the tents were muddy as well.

In light of today’s continued wet forecast we arranged for transportation to our next town, Searsport. Missy and Joe left very early for a whale-watching expedition and I used the area under the canopy to pack up for the shuttle. We already have confirmed lodging and will do laundry and dry out everything.

We arrived at the charming Yardarm Motel. They let us check in early which was welcomed indeed, as we have a lot to do.

The next morning, we packed our things up under their canopy. Such nice campers! Kim is flexible as am I, so we agreed to call for transport to our next destination, The Yardarm Motel in Searsport. Wet and muddy tents, damp clothes and rest day ahead of us. Remember to stay flexible, its akin to stopping and smelling the roses.

We arrived at the quaint Yardarm Motel early afternoon. Washed off our tents and were graciously permitted to hang them to dry over the balcony. The owner jokes we looked like a refuge camp. We were certainly glad to have our gear washed, laundry done and everything fresh and new for day three.

Most hotels in the area had no vacancy. Thankful for Kim's attention to detail and planning.

I rested while Kim repacked. The bed was comfy and the showers were hot! Soon I was off to another good night of sleep to ready me for another day of cycling.🚴‍♀️🌄
