Old Orchard Beach, Maine - Sportbike Addicts

I'm so moving there.!! The place there is awesome. We spent a few days in Maine and we had a good time.! Mainers and the Canadians are very nice, even to their own. Where else can you go and see a older lady walk out of a bar with a walker, a cup holder attached to it with a beer in it.? Where else can you go and see a jeep fall off a dock into water, the driver was okay. And, where else can you go to see a big ass boat literally dock.! Took out the Laffy Taffy and cotton candy stands.

After there we went to Brunswick Maine for the lobster fest (more of a small town carnival) but it was the 64th or so season festival and I also had a awesome time there. That was the hottest day there, mid 90's but over all the days were 70's to low 80's.

Then we went to Bath Maine to the Prison Store. Where the prisoners make all kinds of stuff to do things while locked up. Come to find out 80 percent are locked up for DWI and nothing major like killings etc. But there are a lot of what they call "Tommers" there too. Man who sleep with little boys.!!!

I bought a ship there from a prisoner, Sagres III and it took the inmate 16 months to make. I was impressed by the design and work put into it. Inmate 31287 Mike Sevani 83 years old when finished. He gets $45 of it into his commersary and $135 goes back to Maine Prison.

I had a awesome 4 days. Now I can't wait for Lake George in 2 weeks

That's great John, glad you're having a good time. You wouldn't want to live there in the winter I can tell you that much.

Yes they told me about winter. Not bad I can deal with that. Most said it's the rain because where I want to live is a high flood zone and evacuation area. But we drove around and there's a lot of property for sale that's on top of a big hill.

Sounds like a good time.
I love seafood and have asked Nick to take me there. Although, I have not been able to travel until recently so, maybe next year.

Maine is that even part of the US?
