Last Days

Well, we are home. We left Medway Maine Sunday morning in a light drizzle. The route we decided to take was different then the one we took up. We exited Rt 95 just outside of Bangor and took Rt 2 west.
Rt 2 is a very nice road especially once you get into the mountains.

When we crossed into New Hampshire we enter the White Mountains. Once there we took Rt 16 south.  The rain really started to come down hard so we stopped for the night in Jackson, N.H. We had a nice dinner there, then later we went to the Dairy Queen for some ice cream. When we were walking back out to the car we noticed some folks taking pictures. There was a black bear! The bear had knocked over the trash and was helping itself to a snack. Unfortunately  we didn't have our cameras.

Yesterday morning the sun was out, and we hit the road. We crossed the Kancamagus Hwy. Which is an incredible road that crosses the White Mountains. This was the first time for Cindy and Alan and they really enjoyed it. Sue & I told them that we really could spend a whole week up here. Not a bad road anywhere. Hmmm maybe another road trip in the future?

After the "Kanc" we made our way over to Rt 91 to head home. Cindy & Alan split off onto Rt 89 to catch Rt 4 west, and so on to head back to Ohio. Good bye you two and safe travels.

This was another excellent trip. Yes, it would have been better if Sue could have rode her BMW up, but  we had a great time anyway. As always the people we met along the way were very nice. Peter & Joan at the Ocean Haven Resort in Belle Cote, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia were so nice and very helpful. The cabin we rented was great and very clean. We had everything we needed there.We highly recommend staying there if you ever get up there. I know we will. In fact we ran into some folks from Ct. in P.E.I. later and when they told us they were headed to Cape Breton next we told them to go there. Again great place & great people!!

Of course the Cabot Trail did not disappoint. Out of the roads I've ridden this road has to be my favorite. It's just incredible!!!

P.E.I was nice but unfortunately the placed we stayed there was not so nice. Other then that we enjoyed P.E.I. very much. In all fairness we'll have to go back there when we have more time to explore the whole Island. Truthfully we all liked Cape Breton better.
