Day 3 - Part 3 - Quoddy Head Light.

On the way back to route one we took a quick detour to see Quoddy Head lighthouse

Met a nice lady there from just next door Westwood Mass, she worked at the visitor center and moved up to Maine 8 years earlier and loves it. 

Seeing pictures of Puffins everywhere I had to ask where is the best place to view them. Answer on some little Island that you need to charter a boat to. Thumbs down Boo! 

Another few hours of driving brought us to Calais Maine. The further north we went the crappier the surroundings got. Downpours didn't help with shedding light on the scenes. If there was nice scenic views we couldn't see them. Winging it we had a hard time finding an affordable place to bunk for the night. Eventually we rolled into Houlton ME just after sun down. Grabbed dinner from McDonalds and headed southbound on 95 to Millinockett for the night. Long day of traveling ended with a comfortable bed and shower at the Kahadin Inn.

Fwd: Day 3 - Part 2 - Lubeck

After a few hours of driving we stopped in Lubec Maine to wave to Canada. Maybe next time we'll cross that bridge, because this time my passport is expired. I got a few nice pictures there before heading to the next spot.

Other side of the bridge in the photo below is Canada.

Day 3 - Maine - Part 1

We packed up camp early, as the fog rolled in and out of the campground off of the harbor below. A humid hot and damp morning. I wanted to get morning fog photos of the islands in Bar Harbor but the fog was too dense to see anything.

We turned around and headed for the best restaurant in Bar Harbor, Mainely Meat. By far the BEST pulled pork I have ever had. Not smothered in a bbq sauce, it was still moist and very flavorful. It reminded me of my mother's roast pork loin, Yumm. Paired with three HUGE blue berry pancakes, needless to say I had a happy belly.

North on good ole route 1 is the direction we headed. Stopped at a place that was called Tidal Falls. Pretty area but I think because it was low tide there were no "Falls". But I did manage to get some good fog pictures here.
