“…destination Bangor, Maine”  / by Dave Hileman

Crossing Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine on Route 2 is a wonderful way to see amazing country and find joy in every bend. Highly recommended.  We stopped in Gotham, NH and turned off of Rt 2 and drove a bit past the Mount Washington access road to Wildcat Mountain. A nice walk in the woods led to Thompsons Falls, a cool waterfall that was set in a nice little bowl, quiet place to visit with few people about unlike many of the hiking spots.

The majority of the day was spent enjoying our drive but also making the goal of arriving at Acadia at a reasonable time on Sunday. We are in a stunning orchard (again) on a farm where the hosts are so gracious. They have a farm store and we were given a nice package of tasty food from the store and free access to corn, tomatoes, apples and anything else growing near our RV parking. The farm store is open 24 hours on the honor system and the choices are extensive.

Tomorrow we arrive in Acadia National Park.

Update Cadillac - where, what and with whom — for his fans

My antlers are past tingling but are positively vibrating - we are close to my home and the mountain named for me, Cadillac. (Editor Note: Cadillac was named for a rusty, abandoned 59 Coupe de Ville in the marsh near where he was born.) My homecoming will be epic, I imagine the mayor and the President (maybe President Garfield, cause I just endorsed him you know and not the obese cat) plus the owner of Tasty DoNuts will be there to honor their homewoods boy who made good. Not to mention but I will anyway - all the old girlfriends will be vying for my attention. It is good to be me.
