New England Trip 2015 Pt 6 Maine

After our ride up the coast from Boston and Gloucester we made our way into Ogunquit, Maine. I took Billie to see a little Restaurant the I had visited on a birthday trip in 1999 called Huckleberry's. I had bragged about how good their clam chowder was and the bacon cheddar potato skins and the coffee. We only found an empty place by the water. It burned down the month before we got there. What timing.

This picture is from my 1999 visit. I think they are going to rebuild it so maybe I'll get a chance to take Billie there sometime in the future.

We continued on up the coast a little ways to Wells, Maine to our hotel, the Majestic Regency. It is the perfect motorcycle motor lodge for us. Park in front of your room. It was in the off season so we got fantastic rates. Their continental breakfast consisted of  wonderful fresh pastries from a local bakery along with cereal along with hard boiled eggs and yogurt.

We went to Mike's Clam Shack for dinner. Guess what I had? 

We stayed 2 nights in Wells and did a day of exploring the area. We went first to the Nubble Light house pictured below. This is one of the most photographed lighthouses in America. It was a cloudy day as you can see so the picture is not the best.

Then we rode up the coast to Kennebunkport and along the coast we happened into a vantage point to see George H. W. Bush's summer home and a memorial gift across the lagoon from the compound.

It is still a limited access place with Secret Service details on site.  Below is the Memorial.

We had lunch at Arundel Wharf in Kennebunkport with a great view of the harbor. I also found out that I do not like full-belly clams. Nasty creatures that do not taste anything like my favorite fried clam strips. 

We walked to dinner at another seafood restaurant called Spinnaker's Seafood in Wells that evening.

 After returning to our hotel we settled in for a good night's sleep before heading over to Vermont and upstate New York for the next leg of this adventure. Pt 7 coming...
