Last night we sent this e-mail out to the guests we’re expecting to arrive before the 4th.  Just in case we didn’t have your e-mail, or if you’d like to join us, I thought it would be a good idea to post it here. It’s finally summer…we know because the roses are in bloom and…

Being right on Route 1 (did I mention that we have the largest billboard from the Canadian border to Miami?), we get a fair number of folks who drive into the campground everyday.  People who camp or simply those who are curious.  The most common question is, “can we just take a drive through and…

Would you describe your life as simple? In my life, every project seems to require coordination between lots of other people and on something else being accomplished. One of the symbols of that lesson stood by the rec hall in the form of a huge, white pine tree with a trunk girth over 72 inches.…

Casey wrote the other day and asked about the cleanliness of the bathhouse…a subject that’s near and dear to all of our hearts…and certainly worthy of a blog posting! Here at “The Shores” we have one person on staff full time who’s primary job description is bathrooms. This year, it’s Julie from Ticonderoga New York.…

We’ve enjoyed a week of weather that the Maine Office of Tourism dreams about video taping because everything is picture perfect…the gardens are lush, the trees are brilliant green and around here the Bay is sparkling as though it were rejoicing in the sunshine too. As we become accustomed to these long afternoons, it feels…

I’m in one of those moods…so don’t read this if you’re looking for happy, happy, happy…this is the real life of running a small business in a Mega Corporation world… First, poor Queen Lollie and Sir Neeshee are itchy…they’re suffering from a bloom of biting lice…with a bit of research and a quick call to…

Please join me in welcoming Pat Saunders for another installment of her life here at the campground…Pat divides her summer months between Searsport and Henrietta New York. We’re nearing the end of our lengthiest Spring stay at Searsport Shores since our inaugural visit in May of 2005. This past May 18th, we said “See ya…

The next BBWC outing / field trip will be on Saturday, June 7 , 6:30 am. Cloe Chunn will be leading a ” Bicycle Birding Bonanza” Meet at the entrance to Swan Lake state Park in Swanville. This will be about a 10 mile trip. The pace will be slow so as to observe the…

When you come to visit, of course we want you to spend time on the beach here at the campground. But also consider hiking, kayaking or canoing on the little ponds and lakes that stud our landscape here in Mid-Coast Maine. The other day we were hiking around tiny Knight’s pond and found this lovely…

This is going to be brief because I don’t know how long I’ll actually be on the internet… If you’ve tried to call me and the phone rings endlessly…like I’ve gone to the beach and left the phone in the office…or it simply goes to voice mail…please blame it on Verizon…the calls haven’t been ringing…
