We left Camden Hills and our plan was to have a short drive to a little campground near Bucksport which is about halfway to our next destination of Stonington on Deer Island. On the way Susan wanted to stop at the Walgreens in Belfast to get a prescription filled. Also, there was a knit shop in Belfast but Susan wasn't too interested in visiting. I wanted to see the waterfront harbor and it just so happened that the knit shop was just around the corner from where we parked. She went to the knit shop and later met me at the waterfront. What a surprise - the harbor was filled with all types of boats and the Front Street Shipyard was the best that we had seen so far.
This shows some of the docks and boats. Those tall things are travel lifts for lifting boats in and of the water
This is a panoramic photo taken with my iPhone but I'm not sure how to spread it out. There is a riverwalk along the edge of the water through the shipyard and to the walking bridge across the river to East Belfast. The main streets of the downtown are filled with buildings built in the late 1800's and so far this is high up on my list of favorite towns.
A little later on US 1 we drove across a bridge similar to the Dames Point bridge on the way to Bucksport. We missed Fort Knox on the side of the river which we will catch on the way home. Unfortunately there is a huge paper mill in town which closed down and the town is having a hard time recovering from the loss of jobs.
Our Rv park was just a few miles more and now we are parked for two nights.
