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.
