Had a good trip to Maine yesterday

[Reload]

Went up to Old Orchard Beach. Wish I had my camera - would have been a lot of good sights to capture.

Hung out on the pier. Lobster and Shipyard beer. Could have stayed all night.

Anyone else have plans for a good beach trip this summer?

This place had a hot dog and coke combo for just a dollar. Smallest hot dog and coke you could imagine, but well worth it. Guy said they've had the special for 30 years and I'd believe it.

Perkins Cove is a nice area there, Manaconda. I go there almost every summer at some point - it's more 'upscale' than OOB where I was yesterday.

I like walking on the Marginal Way in Ogunquit - won't find anything else like that beach anywhere. Barnacle Billy's is a good place to eat when I'm ready to chow down after a lot of walking and time on the beach.

Seconded. Though I haven't been there in almost 20 years, the Marginal Way and Ogunquit are awesome!

Reload, you can't drive to the beach from my house, you have to walk to it. I take it for granted that I live in a beach town. Beaches all over the area. It's nice weather 365 days a year.

Lived in York, Maine for awhile............right next to that famous lighthouse.

we ate at barnacle billys, it was funny because george bush sr happened to be eating at the joint next door, he showed up there on his boat with a sweet black secret service boat

im considering moving up near that area soon, cant handle another FL summer

We go tpo maine every year! Originally I'm a new yorker but after 911 we sold our 2000 sq. Ft. Brownstown for 2m and bought a 6k sq. Ft. house for 450k I retired at 24 I highly recomend nh to anyone it is awesome beaches, boston or snowboarding/mountain climbing all in a 1/2 hour. Drive...
Going to york beach the last week of july will be staying at the anchorage, if anyone else is in this area let me know we can meetup and get wasted!(Some betting would be fun as well...)

That's some story, Manaconda. I've never eaten in the fancier joint next door but intend on trying it sometime. I guess Bush, Sr. must still be vacationing in Kennebunk.

Yeah, you've got to love the variety in a state like Maine, Sukka. Beaches, skiing, golf - lots to do depending on the time of year.
