Today the most unusual thing happened: I found myself with an hour and a half completely free…

Naturally, I considered doing something productive, like errands; I even considered going into work early.   And then I realized Secret Spot #2 was calling my name.  (Secret Spot #1 isn’t so secret anymore; I’ll tell you about it some other time.)  SS#2, one of my favorite places in Camden, is a short distance down a discrete path through the woods.  The path is marked by buoys, and after about a five-minute walk it opens onto a span of the quintessential Maine coast - all rocks, seaweed, mussel shells, and sea glass.  I encountered exactly one canine and one human, the latter remarking that she’s usually alone on the beach.

It was absolutely delightful, a deliciously unplanned escape.

Leave a comment or email me at pictures@camdenmaineexperience.com if you have a “secret spot” in the Camden, Maine area. I may even be persuaded to tell you how to find SS#2…
