Day 42 - Nobleboro to Rockport, ME (September 13)

Getting on the road again...


Reunion


Today was a reunion of shorts. My camera and I were finally reuninted. For those of you who have been following the story, my camera died in a gunfight in Cody Wyoming on the last day of July.


It was 6:30 in the evening. I stepped into the street in the middle of the street near the hotel named after one of Buffalo Bill's children. The air was buzzing with excitement. After the actors got the advertisements out of the way for the local businesses, they went about the business of recreating an actual western gunfight. Actually they were shooting blanks. Somewhere into the end of the shoot out at the bar and just before the fight scene in the bar, I guess I took a stray shot because my camera stopped working.


When I arrived in Boulder, I took it to the nearest Best Buy. A repair and a couple of shipping snafus later, it was delivered (actually I picked it up) into my grubby hands. So nice to be reunited.


Today's Ride.



Today was the best of Maine. The cars and trucks actually didn't drive me crazy. Yes, there is no shoulder and yes what remains of the road is generally uneven, but Maine drivers are generally good and give me a wide berth. Yeah!


Today's goal was to ride to the Olson House, a popular subject for painter Andrew Wyeth.


The Olson House



Other than that, the ride was nice, the wind was at my back, the land was not too hilly, the weather was beautiful and the pictures are on the disposable camera. So, those will be uploaded in the future.


View from the Campground. Maine Rocks!



Even the buildings are nice to look at.


And this is just the campground office.
