Colors changing fast in Rockland
Below are pictures of a wooden boat with home-sewn sail built by Tim and Joey and modelled after a Cape Cod oyster boat from the 1930’s. It has taken some friends into Rockland harbor for one of its last Friday night excursions of the season.

Elmer’s Barn is a gargantuan indoor-outdoor flea market and antique store at 107 Rockland Rd, Whitefield, ME 04353 – easier to identify as Maine 17 between Augusta and Rockland and about 40 minutes North-East of Rockland. It has four stories worth of unique to Maine treasures – such as Native American-made snowshoes. Technically in Whitefield, it is really in the unincorporated town of Cooper’s Mills on the Sheepscot River. The town decided to take the Coopers Mills dam down in 2019, encouraged by the Atlantic Salmon Federation and the Sheepscot Valley Conservation Association.
The Sheepscot River runs from the hills of Western Montville in Maine 58 miles to the Atlantic, going through Coopers Mills, Whitefield, Wiscasset and Georgetown. Below is North Ridge Road in Montville where you could probably start your journey west to find the headwaters of the Sheepscot River.
