After two days of interstate, I needed a day like today. I stayed on secondary roads through the Green mountains in Vermont and the White mountains in New Hampshire. After the sun burned through and burned off the morning fog, it was a great day. Unfortunately, I did not make it to the coast today. Traveling west to east thru Maine is pretty slow going. There are numerous small towns, and you rarely get above 40 mph. Nothing wrong with that, but since I had not planned on it, I came up short of the coast. Jim was already there, so he flew back in this direction and we met up just north of Bangor. There is a learning curve to meshing two modes of transportation, but we're getting there. One thing we've learned, is that we need two separate rooms due to a snoring problem Jim had. In all fairness, it was not his snoring that kept him awake most of last night. Tomorrow, Jim heads home and I'm headed into Canada. More to come.
Today's photos: in the northeast they don't have deer crossing warnings, but there are plenty of warnings for moose crossings. I was on the lookout, but the only bovine creature I saw along the road, did not look like a moose.
Went by a glider port and stopped hoping to see some activity, but I guess the thermals weren't good enough yet, since everyone was just sitting around.
Jim may travel faster than I do, but I think I have more room to stretch than he does.
