Lobster at Harrakaskeet outside of Freeport
More of the South Freeport Port
Our sweet new site 155a - no water or electric, but look at that view!

Since we will be dry camping for a few days we decided to totally fill and flush our holding tanks and empty and refill our freshwater. Greg spent a while next to the toilet on constant flush to be sure it was full…fun morning. What we didn’t know was that this would be the day that “sh#t happens” and I mean literally. We went down to the dump station on our way to our new site, hooked up the hose and opened up the very full blackwater tank. Well, every once in a while these dump stations fill up and that day was today. Stuff started coming out of the hole and we could just not get to the valve quick enough. We both stood there looking at each other like, “Now what do we do…we have 2 full tanks and we are going to dry camp for 2 days.” Luckily(?) we were not the first people that this had happened to so the manager at the park went and got the “honey pot” (oh my gosh) and pumped us out. We were very happy that they knew what to do. After that, we went into South Freeport (on the water) for lobster rolls at Harrakaskeet Lobster. Great food. We then went to Yarmouth and visited a big map store and bought an atlas then to the visitors center. After a trip to the grocery store, we were wiped out. So we went back to the campsite and recharged our batteries and later went out for dinner at the Muddy Rudder…(4 words…) deep dish lobster pie. I am still a little sick, so we are not going as hard at vacation as we normally would. Instead we built a fire, drank some wine and went to bed. This new campsite overlooking the water is just a little bit of paradise…
