It is a similar situation but not quite the same, as Point Roberts. We were politely grilled at the Canadian border about why we didn't have our purchases with us and why would we be ...

... are all in New Hampshire, so the land is rolling and not mountainous. The towns seem older and grittier, and not very scenic. We checked into our hotel in Bangor, and headed out to Bar Harbor for a crustacean-a-rama! The road from Bangor to Bar Harbor was 45 miles of misery. Chopped up and construction everywhere. We expected Bar Harbor to be a sleepy little fishing village. Au Contraire, Pierre, it ...

... this far south. There were a number of galleries here that we enjoyed. One shop had a very familiar name.

I wanted to try a lobster roll while I was there. A lobster roll is lump lobster mixed with mayo and some other seasonings in a hot dog bun. We had ours at the Lobster Shack.

... about and blocking intersections. Our top speed was maxing out at about 20mph. So even though we were enjoying the sights we knew we needed to make some time. So we got back onto the "Maine" road. Five hours later, we arrived at our campsite. It had turned cool, more like cold. Okay, it was down right freezing! Coming from a 92 degree day in Boston the day before and landing in Maine at 65 degrees, it ...

This posting is coming sooner than later due to the dark nature of my last email/posting. But that posting/email still did serve it's useful purpose for some of you.
