Panic over
27 de junho de 2019, Canadá ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
845 miles travelled

Picked up the car from Montreal airport and had an unremarkable journey along the trans-Canadian highway through Quebec to New Brunswick where we changed time zones. The only thing to note was that when we did stop for coffee and a break. French is the dominate language. Unlike Montreal which is largely bilingual. On arrival at Edmundston our home for the night. We drove across the river and after formalities at the border post we were back in America, Why? I needed to pick up a geocache in Maine. I left Heather in a McDonalds with free WiFi. But she didn’t need it as it’s the local gossip hotspot for the small town of Madawaska and I went to pick up a cache. Couldn’t find the first one, neither the second. Getting panicky. I wanted to colour in Maine on my geocaching website. Third attempt got close but had to retrace my steps as I came across a ‘no trespassing’ sign. Eventually arrived at the coordinates and looked around for some minutes. Found it, panic over. The container was a plastic pine cone attached to a pine tree in a wood that hadn’t been found for over a year. Signed the log, picked up Heather. Took a photo of us in Maine then scrambled back to Canada over the metal grid decking bridge that buzzed as we drove across and on to our bed for the night.Leia mais

Left Bill and Jocelyn's this morning and headed for New Brunswick. Took the backroads through little towns, all had stunning churches!

We are settled in Saint Leonard for the night, boondocking along the St. John River. I can't remember the last time we had KD but it was delicious.Leia mais

Maddie and Angus didn't take long to break out the cribbage board! Let the battle begin!

Naturally, Patrick charmed the camp owner into giving him a ride in his "tractor".

Fueling up hikers with burgers and packing bags for a 5:30am departure to the Hunt Trail (aka Appalacian Trail) to summit Katahdin!Leia mais

Within striking distance of Mt.Katahdin 🗻is our new campground! Seconds upon parking Gordie is hard at work setting up his tent and Patrick is excavating a new territory. Much cooler here. A nice change from the humidity 😊🏕Leia mais

Hikers summitted!
16 de agosto de 2016, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
Received a text just now that our hikers have reached the summit of Mt.Katahdin! Congrats to our hikers for climbing the tallest mountain in Maine!

Last night we were not sure if this feat would be possible as we learned of two changes since the last time Angus and Sarah hiked Katahdin.
1) Campers are not allowed on Baxter State Park roads making getting to a trailhead a challenge. (To be honest, this could have been a rule for a while. This is simply the first time we have been here with a camper.)
2) You now need a permit to hike ANY of the trails up Katahdin!!! What?!?! This absolutely NEVER occurred to us as every other time we simply arrived, camped (that we did know you need to reserve) and hiked. Oh boy, were we in a double bind.

So, we talked to the owners of the Wilderness Edge Campground where we are staying and they gave us one of their three passes, that can be used any time up Abol or the Hunt trail, and drove our hikers in this morning at 5:30!!! They will be picking them up later this afternoon as well. Problem solved!!! Hooray to nice people! -Don't worry, we did pay them, but sooo worth it for this unforgettable experience! Hikers decided on the smoother Hunt Trail to the newly designed Abol Trail that just opened after a rockslide.

Patrick and Sarah have manned the fort checking out the water supply in the camper, getting mani/pedi's and playing with some more "new" trains. Had to move some couch cushions to make our mega train, so fun!Leia mais

A Harvest Host, two Walmarts, a trail head and some campgrounds filled our days and nights here! Lots of rain, wind, cold temps and the occasional sunny moment. We are looking forward to PEI where we will be back at the beach! Atlantic Ocean this time. Also looking forward to shopping some local artisans and lots of potatoes. 🥔Leia mais

Houlton
11 de julho de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌧 68 °F
As expected, we woke up to a very steady rainfall; thus, any idea of hiking was not feasible.
We decided to take a ride to Houlton- only 21 miles away and play tourist.

Houlton is a town in Aroostook County, Maine, United States, on the Canada–United States border. As of the 2020 census, the town's population was 6,055.[2] It is perhaps best known for being at the northern terminus of Interstate 95 and as the birthplace of Samantha Smith, a goodwill ambassador as a child during the Cold War.

We kinda bummed a little about not bringing our passports with - it would've been cool to jump to Canada for a spell... oh well...

Anyways, we concentrated on Market Square and the surrounding area taking a leisurely stroll to a tiny park.Leia mais

Shire Ale House
11 de julho de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
While the rain thankfully stopped, the humidity in the air was quite unbeatable.
We decided to duck into Shire Ale House and partake in a refreshing cold pint.
Patrick, the bartender, who wound up being the owner, poured Laurie a Stella, and I decided to try a Porter (not my usual choice by far).
We got into talking, and it turned out that he is from PA, around Pittsburgh...
We smoothly switched to his newest concoction - mead with ginger beer (checkmark 2 for not one of my faves).
Then he told us about his dinner menu, where he orders a cut of beef for you..
So we settled on 4:00 pm. dinner, went out to check a couple of other stores, came back, and had a wonderful Cicken kebobs appetizer with a 90oz. Porterhouse for main course.
As per Patrick's suggestion, it was prepared Medium-rare (that would complete the tri-fecta of "these are the few of my not so favorite things").
I have to say that this was one of the BEST MEALS I've ever had 👍Leia mais
