The first thing we did this morning was post my blog, then we all hopped into Barbie's car and headed to a fifty's diner in Brigdton for breakfast. They had a jukebox so Jim filled it with quarters and it began to play..Only problem was it didn't have speakers  in the restaurant so we couldn't really hear it.. After breakfast we took a ride where Barbie showed us a pretty area ski slope and Moon Pond. The shrubs on the slope spelled love, pretty neat huh... Then it was time for us to head back to Nancy and Ernie's . We said our goodbye's and thanked Barbie for the lovely time and got in the car and started our trip back. The GPS took us a different route so we stopped to check and make sure it was taking us the right way. When we arrived at the suspension walk bridge at Androscoggin River that we had passed on the way to Barbie's we stopped. This bridge was built 1890's for the miners to cross the river, so we crossed like a miner. This is still used today by many people. Next stop was the town of Bath, which was closed since it was to late in the day. Back at the boat Carl headed over to install a new fuel filter he had found earlier, that we didn't know we had.With all the changes he has made to the fuel system this should take care of any more problems.. Nancy and I went over to Percy's store for some vanilla ice cream for the blueberry pie we had picked up. Carl returned and we spent the evening having dinner talking until it was time for Carl to plot our next part of our trip. This is a pretty hard job with all the rocks on the Maine Coast.. He has to concentrate a lot...We headed up to bed for a good night sleep as today we move  on to our last destination in Maine.. We have to move while we can. The fog get real thick and the weather can change at the drop of a hat.This has been a wonderful stop and we can't thank everyone enough for such wonderful hospitality.. It was a great time with all.
