Description:
TRAVEL KUZ will start you day off with a lobsterbake or baked stuffed chicken in Scarborough, Maine. After lunch it will be off to The Desert of Maine.
Visitors find it difficult to imagine among the rolling hills and rambling brooks at the end of Desert Rd. there is a Desert. Once you take your first step through the gift shop's front door, however, your doubts will vanish as you enter the vast and sandy DESERT of MAINE.
In 1797 the Tuttle family moved to the 300 acre farm that once covered the Desert of Maine where they successfully raised crops of potatoes and hay for several years. Failure to rotate crops thereafter, combined with massive land - clearing and overgrazing resulted in severe soil eroison that exposed this hidden Desert. As the spreading sand grew uncontrollable, the Tuttles surrendered, leaving the Desert to it's destiny.
You will enjoy a 30 minute Glacier Desert Tour Ride and will have time to visit their gift shop. After the tour we travel to Freeport/LL Bean for 2 hours of free time and dinner on your own.
$99.00 per person
