We crossed the Kennebec River on a beautiful sunshiny day. No jackets, no shower caps and looking forward to our last long day. There was a fishy and saltwater smell in the air. We were exhilerated!! It could not have ended sooner. The route was on a busy highway- route 1. If you stayed on it you would end up in Florida! Busy and full of construction work. It is definitely vacation time. Lots of campers, Winabegos, and cars with canoes and bikes on the top passed us much too close and much too fast. This is a good time for the tour to end. We have been so lucky with the traffic and the weather that it is time to leave the roads to the rest of America. We had our turn and it was a good one.
We did see some Maine countryside with lakes full of sailboats and dense green forests. There were many artsy places to visit-paintings, hand made quilts, pottery places, all kinds of galleries. Of course we didn't have time to visit them- we had to finish our 86 miles- and it was a hard 86. My legs are telling me that it is time to give them a good rest. They are tired! They have about 46 miles left in them which they will complete tomorrow as we ride into Bar Harbor.
We did have time today to stop in Camden- a neat little town on the water. We all wanted to have a lobster roll- which we did and it was delicious! To get there we rode through Rockport- the town where those shoes are made. After our great lunch on the water, we finished the rest of our journey.
We entered the town of Buckport over a beautiful suspension bridge. It is one of two bridges like it in the USA .The other is in Boston. Our motel faces Fort Knox -another historical landmark in the New England area.
We found statues of a bear and a moose today and took pictures by each. Tomorrow our goal is to find a lobster to pose by. If we find one you will know.
