Freeport, Maine - Desert Of Maine
Cool. It literally looks like a desert, so like desert there's nothing much to see. It was obviously a waste of $10 yet the owners were very lovely, yes. Oh, and they are going to have some music concerts in the bar, which would be fun !

The legendary Piasa Bird painted on the side of a river bluff is still looking good... and mean... and hungry! Helpful hint: do your research ahead of time. The sandblasted monument inscription is hard to read in an asphalt parking lot with a 95 degree sun beating down on you.

Lovely owners. Bar. Music concerts. Perhaps a refreshing waterfall beneath sheltering palms.... an oasis shimmers just ahead.
