#223 Pembroke, Maine boondock, Reversing falls road park

As we approached Pembroke we would re-enter the US. It was uneventful at the border. In Canada, we were on the Bell cell tower system and always had 4g. As soon as we crossed the border into Maine we lost all cell service. Whahh.

We saw an ad for the boondock out in the country on free camp.net. We went out there and it was maybe three to five miles out of the way but that’s ok. When we got there it was at the end of a long one-mile dirt road. It was kind of a. public area where people go to have picnics and maybe put the boat in. It had several fire rings. You might say it was an intentional kind of a national forest campground. They don't provide anything but you're allowed to be here.

We set up at one of them I don't think anybody else even showed which I kind of like that too.

That evening I heard the water carrying on down below us and took went down there but like a dummy, I didn't take any video. The water was really acting up. I mean it was like the reversing falls we saw at St John but it was moving very violently. I mean like raging rapids backwards. The next day I took some video and some pictures of it forming it started out as very tame. After a while it seemed like the water would just kind of percolate a little bit and then it got more and more violent and crazy. I thought that was pretty cool. I also saw a seal out there playing. I tried to catch him on film but he only surfaced that one time. I walked around and it was just me taking pretty pictures of the area. A nice little boondock I would say.
