Tuesday, October 04, 2011Comments: Now this was an exciting day. It’s been raining straight for, what? 39 days and 39 nights or so? There’s a guy next to us in the KOA who’s building a very large boat. And the noise coming from the animals he has is keeping us awake all night.Wait, I got off topic. We need rain gear. As it happens, Freeport is the birthplace of the L. L. Bean company. There is a huge store in the middle of Freeport, with an outl...
