Day 33 (September 23, 2009) – Westward Ho the Wagons down Maine

The day started out gloomy with fog, but improved steadily. By the time we left it was bright enough to add West Quoddy Lighthouse into our itinerary for the day. Just a short 30 mile or so and 1 ½ hour detour. It was still hazy at the lighthouse but we got the pictures and a glimpse of Grand Manaan Island through the hazy fog. It was low tide, so no whales to be seen. We drove US 1 to Bar Harbor and our new home for 3 days at Mt. Desert Narrows Camping Resort. As we drove to our site, what to our wondering eyes should appear? No not Santa and 8 tiny reindeer, but Paul and Harvey’s rigs. I guess we caught up with them for a bit. The drive south (149 miles) was uneventful with a nice lunch stop at Blueberry Family Restaurant in Machias, ME.
