Ruth had to work last night so she wasn't ready to go right off but she was ready pretty quick. We were on the road by 8 AM. The first stop was a GPS point in Portsmouth, NH. The GPS pointed me to a woodlot next to the Community School so I took a photo of the school but as we left, there was a waterpark on the backside of the woods so I took a photo there also. The second GPS point was in York, ME and it was in their downtown area. There was an animal park that I think was closest so I took the photo of that.
We then headed north. The next four stops were Everywhere stops; Waterville, Wickson, Pittsfield and Bangor. Bangor also had a GPS point at some downtown buildings.
We made it to Bangor faster than I'd thought. I planned to stop here for the day but it was too early so Ruth voted to move on the Houlton (on the US/Canadian border). It was about 110 miles away but it was all interstate in remote areas. We made it there by 6 PM but Houlton was celebrating their 200th anniversary so EVERY hotel room in the town was occupied. Its a good thing we'd brought camping things and we took a nice campground on the edge of town. It was nice grass and fairly quiet. We set up camp, returned to town for a quick dinner, and then back to the campground for bed.
It was very cold during the night. I'd imagine it was in the mid 40s so both Ruth (in my warmer sleeping bag) and I were cold and had to put on jackets to stay warm.
We did 412 miles today, the longest Ruth every did....
