I´d like to thank owners the camp - Phil & Lynn not just for providing a car ( for road test) and lending a tent for my travelling after camp. I´d also like to thank Carol & Stave who helped me with my car.
The Camp Winnebago, founded in 1919, is situated in state Maine by the Echo Lake , It is intended for 150 boys ages 8 to 15. Camps program is consisted of waterfront activities, swimming, wind surfing athletics,... Kids are teached to photography, video production, woodcraft,...

One per week we went to a party. It did not look bad there, but beer was too expansive cca $ 2,5. The "Full age" - 21 is forced here very strongly.
One of my american friends lended me his bike. So I was able to undertook a few one-days trips, visit my friend in other camp and discover little more from Maine. I was very pleased by american drivers. They were very careful and passed me always just if they had assurance of enough room. Without bike or car is almost impossible to see something more than the camp.
I met, with my roommate Peter, Jim - American who is living in Sweden now. He was travelling around his native land for holiday. And so he offered us a day trip. We visited with him next state - New Hampshire, his friends and Atlantic coast.
