Trip West - Maine to New Hampshire

We made it across the border to Maine.  I figure we should go the U.S. easternmost point - Eastport - but is on an Island so we head to the 2nd easternmost point - Lubec and the Quoddy Lighthouse.
Thank goodness Maine points out these hazards of driving!

After a few blocked views, we manage to find Lubec

and apparently are on the right track for the Lighthouse

and there she is

Looking out to the Quoddy Narrows

There is a Bald Eagle perched on the furthermost rock

We continue on - looks like it is low tide.  Passamaquoddy Bay is opposite Fundy Bay. Eastport overlooks the Old Sow Whirlpool, the largest tidal whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere but it is best 2 hours before high tide - next time

The Lubec Channel Lighthouse

That object in the distance is ringing a bell in my mind

Now I remember - the Penobscot Narrows Bridge that I crossed with the RV heading to Nova Scotia while Gary slept.

We had tried to get a spot in Acadia National Park at Schoodick Point figuring a rainy Wednesday there would be a spot - but someone was looking at the last spot while I was on the phone and took it.  Guess we were just not meant to go there.  We pull over in Northport for the night

On the road the next morning the weather is much nicer 

and the trees are changing color.

We pull into Augusta to gas up as Diesel is $2.83 a gallon as opposed to $3.12 at our next destination.

We turn the corner to see this - hope our measuring the 5th Wheel at 12'7" was accurate as there is no alternative.

We made it to drive another day!

Time to stop for lunch.

The truck navigation takes us down some windy roads but 

the colors were great

Gary pulled over in Norway, ME to catch a few ZZZ's

 while I took Tucson for a stroll

 He certainly picked the appropriate spot

 After a roller coaster ride of back roads, we make it safe and sound

at Gary's friends in Chatham, NH
