Heading toward Bar Harbor.

We took two days of driving to get to the coast from Schroon Lake, NY.   We drove off to find US 4 outside of Lake George thru Vermont and up and over the mountains around Killington, which I used to think were tall mountains when going there for skiing.   I was shocked when we passed Killington Peak and I hadn’t noticed we were in the mountains yet.   I guess I am really jaded by the 9 and 10 thousand foot passes we traversed out west.   I noticed those!

Once past there, I was looking for the freeway that headed up toward               St. Johnsbury so we could meet up with US 2 again.   Hadn’t been on it since Michigan where it went into Canada and we had to head south due to not having our passports with us.  🙁     And the freeway was actually free.   I got to test out my Ipass/EZpass in Ohio and NY to the tune of about $50 so far.

Back to finding US 2,  we missed the turn for the road that went diagonally northeast that would cut off quite a bit of miles and time and we had to head back down there.  It got a bit nerve racking when we came upon the 10′ clearance sign.   But we stayed the course and made it back to US 302 unscathed.    Took it over the US 3 and then to 115, which may have been a New Hampshire road and it brought us over to US 2.  t\Then it was just a short jaunt to Shelburne, NH for the night.

We camped in a place called Timberland and the name fit,  It was like we were in the middle of the woods that night.   5 feet behind our coach was a steep drop-off and a railroad track at the bottom.   Didn’t want to back it in too far..

Unfortunately local WiFi was useless and so were both of our hot-spots.   It was like we were back using a 9600 baud modem again.

Then next morning we got on the road early and headed east again on US 2 up to Norridgewock for cut down to I 95 north toward Bangor, Maine.   Our campground was in Trenton just next to the causeway to Mt. Desert Island.
