I started off with overcast clouds and mist. This turned into a steady drizzle for about two hours. Nothing terrible, but it is annoying. Shortly after, I started to ride thru some scattered sunshine. It is amazing how quickly my attitude changes when I get sunshine on a cloudy day (I suddenly have a temptation to write a song). Here is what I don't get when you cross back into the U.S. couldn't the officials smile, welcome you back, and not treat you like a criminal once they have checked your paperwork? Anyway, I crossed back into Maine and immediately gained an hour. The route I picked across Maine was really pleasant and it had turned into a great day. I continued across New Hampshire and into Vermont. So I've traveled thru three states today, and I,m only 5 miles away from the Canadian border. Tomorrow I plan on heading into New York and do some touring in the Adirondack Mountains.
Present Location: Newport, Vermont
Today's mileage: 407

Today's photo's: An old train station in Canada that I thought looked interesting
A stack of logs at a lumber mill. This photo doesn't really show how amazing this thing looked. I don't know how or why they stack them like this. This thing was huge.
some roadside scenery in New Hampshire
Canadian Observation: I enjoyed my time there, but don't think I could put up with the winters they endure. And no matter what, it is always nice to get back in the U.S. where I know the little things, like the money dominations, speed limits (I caught myself going way below the speed limit a couple of times because I would see the sign, think kilometers and immediately start to slow down.). So Canada is over, but not my trip.
