SRT25 - Day 91
Summer 2025 Road Trip
Saturday, July 5, 2025
This morning we’re exploring the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Beside the botanical gardens they have lots of sculptures and even a few trolls.

These troll sculptures were created by Thomas Dambo from Denmark to help promote the idea of managing and protecting nature.
Each troll has a different story to tell about the garden.
Most of the gardens have been designed using the permaculture theory where plants are set up to complement each positive aspect. Some examples are plants that are easily harmed by insects and are planted next to plants that repel those same insects.
We spent the afternoon at Sandy Point Beach on Cousins Island. With it being the 4th of July weekend, there were a lot of people visiting the beach.
Tonight we’re car camping in an overnight parking lot with a couple of other travelers. By the end of the night there were 15 vehicles parked in the lot.
