We have arrived in Maine

Good Day to One and All,
     Well the adventure continues. We were scheduled to spend a week at a Navy FamCamp. When we arrived it was so far out in the boonies we would never get a rental car. This place was ran by the Air Force for 15 years and then taken over by the Navy. I couldn't understand why this place was not near a large body of water. I thought it might had been a training base with a Navy Exchange or something. There is nothing! I do know what this place would be good for. Those individuals with PTSD - It would be a great place for them to help put them selves back together. It is a beautiful - but secluded place. OK, so I lost my deposit there.
    We started heading a little towards this place called Bar Harbor. My Navigator started looking into one of our camping books to find a place. She did, in a place out side of Ellsworth. While we were sitting in this parking lot trying to sort everything out. I looked a cross the road and there was a Masonic sign. As I looked closer at this building that looks like a bank. It says it is the Grand Lodge of Maine. Obviously I have to go in (seeing how I be one). Now my Grand Lodge in Maryland is this monstrous place out in the country on a hill - over looking the peons. I went in and per-roved their artifacts and swapped stories it was a nice hour - seeing how I couldn't check in yet.
     We checked in and settled down for the rest of the day. I even got Joan to go out and wonder around. We ended down by the lake - I had to put my feet in - not bad. We sat in a couple of Adirondack chairs and watched the sun set. While sitting around we met a couple that are doing the same as us but from the Seattle area. Met a retired Army guy that has a forty five foot motorhome. Mine is only thirty feet. That's OK the way I drive, I'd never get that thing around the two lane roads. It would be in style though!
     That's it for Joan resting - poor thing. I had her up the next morning so she could go with me and pick up the rental car. Once completed we headed to Bar Harbor. OK another tourist place. An over exaggerated fishing village. We went to a couple over villages around the sound. We even stopped in one so I could have a lobster roll - not what I was thinking of! It was a hot dog bun with some lobster in it. I need to introduce them to a shrimp Po-boy! Ok been there done that not going back again.
     Today has been one of those twelve hour days with nine of which was driving. Last March we had been to the end of US 1. Today we were at the beginning of US 1. Once I get my photos down loaded they all will be posted on here. Now while we are on the subject of pictures. Like last years trip. My navigator (Oh by the way I have a great GPS) dosen't like taking pictures. So have really missed some beautiful shots. I even purchased a new digital camera.
    We had two opportunities to enter back into Canada and travel paralel to US 1, but some one is still pissed at our last excursion in. We got off I-95 and headed to Houghton (where we could have entered Canada) then drove up US 1 to the end - which is in a town called Fort Kent. The name is appropriate since Kent is the county that Joan comes from. There was a small border there. We could have entered there and taken a four lane highway back to Houghton - instead of a two lane (twisty twines road).
     We have two more days left hear before we depart here and head to Rhode Island and the Dark Shadows Mansion! Till the next time!
