GETTING MOODY!
Our vacation trip to Maine found us stopping
at Moody's Motel/Cabins just south of Rockport
Monday might. Moody's is sort of a "Field of
Dreams story" without baseball. The family build
3 cabins just off US Route 1 in 1927. They had\
no heat and no running water and rented for a
dollar a night! 600 people took advantage of those
cabins that first year. So, the next year, a few more
cabins were added. Then a breakfast restaurant and
a fiid wagon to get travlers to stop. That's when the
State decided to move Route 1. Rather than give up
the owner, build an access road from the cabins to
the new highway and moved his restrauant operations
there. Now the place served about 1500 people a day!
The cabins, meanwhile, are still filled most every
night in season! If you're traveling along U.S. Route
1 south of Rockland, Maine you'll ant to eat at Moody's
and, if a stop is on your agenda, sign up for a night in
one of Moody's cabins! Hope you do and that all your
NEWS is good!
