After a long bout of no computer (crashed hard drive, transfers to the new lap top) I am finally back on line and ready to do more blogs. 
Susan and I had the most wonderful trip to Maine, mostly to visit the new museum at Colby College, and to meet up with my sister Barbara and husband Bill, and just to get away to see some fall foliage.  We had great success in every way, the museum was fantastic, the fall colors (in Maine, at least) were wonderful. and we had a great B&B to stay in with some great meals prepared just for us.
I am going to spread this over several blogs. beginning with the first two days.
We drove up on Monday, stopping at several state parks for me to practice, and to get a good walk in.
We had great weather the entire time.
Susan, getting in the mood for the weekend.

Our bed and breakfast, the Copper Heron, in Unity, ME.
Our hostess served up two evening meals, the first a Beef Bourginon, and the Second Steelhead Trout.
With the beef I had a bottle of Peo Cesare Barolo, saved for the occasion.

For our second day, we drove to Bucksport, and visited the historic Fort Knox  which is opposite the town. 
What a wonderful view, with the Kennebunk River like a mirror.



Early in the morning

The Kennebunk River


Fort Knox never fired a shot.  

All of the massive guns were melted down in WW!, and only two were left to give people in the future a chance to know  what the fort could have been capable of.


Early morning, second day, the lake at Unity.
