Spent a warm, sunny and joyful weekend with Justin and Kate at Colby College, where Justin is a department chair in environmental sciences. They showed us around campus, Waterville and their home, all of which are fine examples of pastoral, academic living, perfectly suited to these smart and thoughtful people.

Two cent bridge, because workers used to pay two cents to cross it when walking from the town to the paper mill across the river

About twenty minutes drive from Waterville is East Pond, which is actually a large lake surrounded by summer cabins and camps. In the Fifties and Sixties, my uncle Frank and aunt Fannie owned a camp lakeside called Camp Eastwood. Several of my cousins and my grandma Rose were employed at the camp. We made a pilgrimage to see what was still there.
It appears that a theatre camp still exists in the same location.

I think Camp Manitou (below) is the neighboring parcel, but it shows how Camp Eastwood may have looked in its heyday. It must have been and still is a gorgeous place.
