Back on the road - in Maine

Made it to Maine ... 

Started out just after 4 a.m. Trying to make up some time after being grounded a day by Tropical Storm Arthur. A short mile into my ride I ran into my first moose warning.




Nice guy Michael gave me a lift to Bangor. Route 9 had been closed because of
the storm. 




Got back on track on Highway 2 and took a break at Route 2 Antique Mall. Galen and Sue presented me with a license plate from Maine.

Grounded by a Hurricane

Calais, Maine - So this is what a tropical storm looks like. It's Arthur....



 .....and he's caught me; high winds and 100 percent rain, tree branches down.  It would make for a miserable/dangerous day on the road so I might as well take the day off.
