It was difficult to leave the Bar Harbor
area that gave us such great cycling and scenic experiences. However, to get to the next part of our
journey we packed the van and headed north east. Before getting to far we stopped at Schoodic
National Park Loop
Road in Acadia some of this
ride was on one-way roads along the coast.
In addition, we took several side rides to “working fishing villages”—a
term used by local residence to distinguish themselves from vacation and
tourist towns.
From there, our drive north took us through small towns and
over some narrow highways before we reached Calais ,
Maine Canada . Our crossing was uneventful and put us on an
expressway for our trip to St. John . While we knew where we were going, the Garman
GPS was not updated and did not recognize the new expressway we were using (It
had the same route number of the old road stored in Garman). Yes, the Garman voice went crazy telling us
to get on the correct road and showing our tracks in the middle of no where.
Our hotel in St. John ’s
out classes us--2 scruffy bikers. It is
one of the fanciest hotels that either of us has ever stayed in. We walked to the restaurant district where we
enjoyed a street fair before eating dinner.
Finally, for our friends who are suffering a heat wave, we were cold
walking back to our hotel.
