Wow, it's Thursday already!  We had a good R & R time in western Maine for three days, and it was beneficial for Jim.  His back still isn't good, but it's somewhat better.  It didn't bother him driving at all today, but once he got out to unhook, it reminded him that it is still there!  We are perched on the Saco River in N. Conway, NH and it's a busy campground.  I think it's the last hurrah for all the kids before they get ready for school.  Our campsite is just across the road from the walkway to the river, and we're seeing kids and adults coming up with water tubes, kayaks, and anything that floats.   We are in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and we'll have to scout out things to do here.  The weather is just gorgeous at 77 degrees and no humidity to speak of.  I keep forgetting to tell you what we're paying for diesel, and we filled this morning in Newport, ME and paid $2.49.9 a gallon!  That is the lowest we've paid, and we hear the gas prices in the Midwest just went up 50 cents, due to a refinery problem in Indiana. We should put our Packer flag out tonight, as they play the Patriots, and Jim has found them on a local station.  One vehicle stopped us before we got to our site and told us that they are Packer fans and 'maybe they need company watching the game'! They saw our WI license plate, and I'm sure we are a minority here.  We didn't see any moose while in the northern part of Maine, but we saw plenty of signs that indicated they are out there.  We look forward to our new territory to explore.
