…Point, Town, Campground, and Lighthouse!
We have spent the last 5 nights at the Easternmost campground in the US (Sunset Point RV Park), in the Easternmost town (Lubec, Maine), home of the Easternmost Lighthouse (West Quoddy). We’re also in the land of high tide ranges, i.e. close to the Bay of Fundy (highest tidal range in the world). Lubec averages 15-17 feet? Special campground, on Johnson Bay, where the sun sets directly behind Lizzy at night. [We missed visiting Cobstock Bay State Park (tide averages 24 feet and can reach 28 feet), as it was closed for cleanup from Storm Lee.]
And did we mention that camping fees at Sunset Point include access to Lobster Cooking equipment??? Our last stop on the Maine Coast, we had to take advantage.
National Park Visits
While here, we spent an afternoon visiting San Croix Island International Historic Site (#213), where the French first tried colonization in North America. We broke the halfway point for visiting National Parks (425 as of July). We then spent the better part of 2 days visiting Roosevelt Campobello International Historic Park, over the FDR Bridge from Lubec, Maine, on Campobello Island, New Brunswick. Another country, but only 3 miles from our campsite. It is the only park in the world jointly managed by 2 countries (Canada and the US). And we saw 2 more lighthouses!
Off for Millinocket, Maine and the end of the Appalachian Trail

wonderful pictures, I visited Roosevelts home few years back on trip with AARP to New Brunswick and saw the place where the waters meet divide, I think it is what it’s called. Beautiful areas When do yo start for home? Lizzie is having quite a ride!
