In the 50s they had real camels wondering around, but the climate was not right for them and they had to stop that.
The trees that you see are really just the tops. The sand dunes have engulfed them and instead of dying, the branches turn back into roots.

They plant gems in the sand for children 12 and under to find. They can keep just three.
Lucky loved the sand and we loved the old mumbling man tour guide. So serous and long winded. His name was probably Wilson.
Freeport's big giant Indian...
And L.L. Bean's big giant boot...
L.L.Bean's full name is Leon Leonwood Bean. Nice. I would go by L.L., too.
Fishy, Fishy in the brook...
Harrawseeket's is famous Maine landmark. Brad and Mike ate lobster rolls right out on the pier.
I know what you did last summer....
Brad seems to be a natural seaman...
Portland is a beautiful old working port city. You can watch the ships come in and walk on old cobblestone streets.
We went lobster catching on a tourist boat called...
Lucky had a blast. They had a live lobster tank on the boat that kept him captivated. The captain gave Lucky a live starfish to show off to everybody. Then he was suited up.
Our captain L.L. Bean, taught us all about lobster fishing. Stuffing bags with dead fish for bait, the sex, the legal sizes allowed to keep, how to rubber band their claws and all kinds of stuff about the area we where in. Lucky was so interested it all of it.
Afterwards, the boys wanted to eat lobster. Lucky was a little weirded out about watching them crack them open. And, the answer is NO. Sarah did not eat lobster.
What I really enjoyed was the Harmon's Hamburgers. Right out of our America's Best Hamburgers book. It was pure steamed goodness.
I just wish I would have gotten a moon pie.

Wow!! I think Brad , Mike and Lucky are ready to go on the Worlds Deadliest Catch Show. They dont quite have the seasoned look yet but they look like they are sailors. Arrrg Matey. Sarah you could have tried a bite of lobster. Maybe you should have asked if they have real artificial crab legs and see what they would have to say bout those legs.Lucky couldnt of looked any cuter in his get up on the boat. Was he okay with the star fish? Did you have to send it back to the sea. Tim and dan loved the desert what a weird oddity but you are hitting them all. Bye Bye for Now
Tell Brad he cannot leave a different woman in each port you guys go to.Hee hee
Lucky stole the show. He was so cute. I was prepared for the melt down because he hadn't really like the pontoon up at the lake this summer. Boy, was he ever into this ride. The starfish was okay. He was going back to sea anyway. We also caught a hermit crab that Lucky lanched in the water.
The desert was cool, but I thought we would be able to go in and play in some sand dunes, instead we had to go on this long unconfortable tour. It was funny though. My kinda thing.
Brad's leaving the ladies in tears, but he's excited for his ladyfriend Carrie to come out in about a week.
We are in New Hampshire until Sunday. We are going to Santa's Village on Saturday. We should have some good shots from that one.
I bet you're happy that you'll be joined by another lady. Do you feel like Mike did on the Poligamy wagon yet? Lucky should wear a fisherman suit all the time.
great blog, great pictures, it seems like you are having the time of your life, keep posting
