I don't know if I will ever be able to do another major road trip like I did in 2012, but I definitely plan on doing more trips. This blog is a record of those trips as they happen.

So far, so good

So after dropping Jim off at the airport this morning, I headed over to Calais, Me. where I crossed the border into Canada.  It was pretty hot there, but it has cooled down some as I get further north.  Once I got my bearings, I started following a recommended scenic route.  It is interesting, sin e we are on the coast, you head out toward a bay on the water, and then you head back inland, go north a while, and then head back out towards the water again. Every time you do this, there is a temperature change of almost 20 degrees. It is a scenic ride, and the roads really aren't very highly traveled which makes it nice.  The bad part, is that some of these secondary roads are pretty rough.  Between the frost heaves and the snow plowing, I guess that is to be expected.  I have to tell you though, it doesn't seem like they spend much money on the repairs they do.  Most of the repairs are worse then the beat up roads.  That just means I have to take it a little slower, but it isn't going to stop me.

Today's photos:  in no particular order
Some photos along the coast on the Fundy Trail, a gas station that I can't figure out why it hasn't gone national, some yard art.  I always find the yard art I see along the way interesting, but you gotta love the Flintstone cars.
