Unfortunately, Jett was a bit under the weather during our stay so we didn&#8217;t do as much exploring as we had hoped.  I did get to a couple of cemeteries and wandered about a bit on my own, but, fortunately, we were treated to a 2-hour guided tour by campground neighbors Tom and Lynda who had lived in the area their entire lives.  It was a sunset tour, so while I got a very nice sunset shot near Wells Beach (the sun sets in the west, of course, so the beach was in the other direction but, trust me, it was there), most of the shots were fairly dark.  But it was a wonderful tour nonetheless, featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ogunquit\">Ogunquit<\/a>, Wells Beach, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cape_Neddick_Light\">Cape Neddick Light<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/dunnesicecream.com\/\">Dunne&#8217;s Ice Cream<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So while we didn&#8217;t see as much as we planned, I saw enough to say that I like the area.  It would be a good place to spend some time in the summer.  Except for the water, which is friggin&#8217; frigid.  If you want warm water, stick to the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5038\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626171958a_HDR.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5038\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5038\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626171958a_HDR-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Dunne&#039;s Ice Cream\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626171958a_HDR-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626171958a_HDR-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626171958a_HDR-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626171958a_HDR-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626171958a_HDR-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dunne&#8217;s Ice Cream<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5040\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626172021.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5040\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5040\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626172021-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Rocky shore at Wells\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626172021-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626172021-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626172021-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626172021-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0626172021-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5040\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rocky shore at Wells<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the main (Maine?) reasons for staying in Wells was to explore the area and, possibly, actually get to the beach.
