The Rainy Day That Wasn't

Today was the rainy day that wasn't.  Weather forecasts had it raining all morning, with a 30% chance of rain this afternoon, and then thunderstorms this evening.  Well, it did sprinkle this morning, but for the most part was cloudy.  The clouds remained in early afternoon.

Anticipating the rain, we did some computer work - trip planning and such.  We watched a Harry Potter film.  Finally, around 2pm, we decided to take a bicycle ride, seeing rain approaching on weather radar that wasn't to arrive until 5pm.

The other day, we had ridden our bikes south on the Eastern Trail, which is a 64-mile bike trail running from South Portland, down the coast of Maine to the state border.  Our ride south had been for only perhaps 5 miles each way, to check out our route to Old Orchard Beach.  Today we chose to ride north, toward Portland.  We stopped at the Audubon Society's information center for the Scarborough Marsh, which our campground is located on, and got what we needed to know about canoe tours of the marsh. We continued on the bike trail, north through the marsh:

We pedaled about 6 miles until David's bike sprang a broken spoke, and we decided to turn back, so we turned homeward for a total trip of about 12 miles.  After a warm dinner, we took a walk around the campground.

It appeared the Wild Ducks were on strike, because we found them milling about the campground road:

Another couple staying in the campground drove in and encountered the ducks, and we helped shoo them back into the pond so the car could pass.  Ended the evening watching another Harry Potter movie.

Don't say nothing exciting happens at RV campgrounds.
