Jasper Beach, Maine

When we arrived in Machias yesterday morning, it rained quite a bit. We parked up across from the laundromat, and I spent the morning on the internet while Ruth did some wash. It cleared up though, and we went for a walk around town.

Machias is a pretty little town of about 2,500 people. Quite a few spots where you could overnight in a motorhome here for free, including some spots that specifically say overnight parking is allowed. They don't specify RV's, but I don't see why they would need to.

We left Sherman where he was and took the little car for a drive down to the ocean. Found a nice little parking area at Jasper Beach. It's a wide rocky beach, and not really on the tourist route. The parking area is a little small, not really room for a rig much bigger than Sherman, but there is another parking area for a few cars and I don't think it will be that busy here. No signs saying you can't camp or overnight here, so we headed back and picked up Sherman and brought him down here.

Had a good sleep last night! We think we might stay here another night!
