Possible Maine Meet-Up?

[janetpaul]

I hope your wife will be okay, Fred. If we don't see you this time, we'll catch you next time. Take care.

If you are planning to attend the Maine meet up on July 13, please Google Portland, Maine and see if there is anything you would like to photograph. Since I live in the general area, I can make some suggestions (and some maps)but I would love to hear yours. Here are some possibilities:

Hi all, here are some suggestions too:

OLD PORT:
The Old Port is a district of Portland, Maine, known for its cobblestone streets, 19th century brick buildings and fishing piers.

PEAKS ISLAND:
Peaks Island today is a neighborhood within the city of Portland. Home to artists, retirees, commuters of all sorts and a substantial summer population, Peaks Island boasts a small town feel with unparalleled ocean views and access. Fourteen daily ferry departures (20 minutes one way) from Portland make Peaks an ideal, family friendly destination. Nice ferry ride and cute accessible little island.

GILSLAND FARM:
Sited along the Presumpscot River estuary just five minutes from Portland, Maine Audubon’s headquarters features a 65-acre sanctuary with more than two miles of trails winding along a pond and through woods, meadow, orchard and salt marsh.

SCARBOROUGH MARSH:
Maine's largest salt marsh -- recently designated a Maine IBA (important bird are) and a candidate as a Global IBA. The Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center, open to the public, offers a a variety of guided and self-guided walks and canoe tours in addition to exhibits, a nature store, and canoe rentals. (OOOHHH...Pbaser's messin' around in boats!)


I am open to the whatever adventure the group would like to take on!

Best, Laura

I'm replying to Laura's post to keep the Maine Meet-Up post where people can see it. It's scheduled for July 13th in Portland, Maine. Hope to see you there.

I have not been on Pbase for a while due to closing my business. Still plan to make the meetup! My wife & I are leaving July 8 to camp in Belfast Maine so I won't be able to check the interenet or my email. We'll be in a area with no service.
I'll send Laura and a few of you my cell phone number hoping you can leave a message with time and meeting place. Getting excited, really and I mean REALLY need the get away!

Looking forward to seeing you all in the Portland area.

Jonathan

P.S. I had to change my email address, it's now jon@holyokeunderwater.com

Hope to see you at the Pbase Maine meetup on July 13. I will have maps for stuff you may want to see, and can direct you to others. Please message me if you want to go. I will send you the information.
