Worst possible day!

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007
Ellsworth, ME to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada

202.0 miles
Mostly sunny

Except for my extremely traumatic occurrence late in the day (if you haven’t seen it yet, check the posting for 7/29/07), it was a lovely day!

Charming little towns and villages and beautiful rolling hills, planted in a variety of crops presenting lots of colors.

Passed the Worcester Wreath Co. building in Harrington, ME – a company that those who know me will be familiar with – the fellow that owns this wreath company is the one who places wreaths on all the graves at Arlington, and many more cemeteries now, in honor of our servicemen and women who have died for our country, every Christmas season! He has a huge Christmas wreath on the side on his building!

We stopped at the White House Restaurant, just outside Jonesboro, ME, for a terrific home cooked meal – one of the best I’ve had on the road, ever!

My visit with the law rather spoiled the rest of the day, needless to say. We had already been questioning this particular crossing into Canada from Calais, because it is extremely poorly planned – very crowded, tight turns, one lane each way, with new construction causing the 18-wheelers to have to practically do calisthenics to make it thru, as the roof line is too low for them to maneuver under! It went downhill from there.
