MADE IT TO MAINE

Hey everyone....well we made it to Maine & are just east of Bangor.  The turnpike up was the beat roads we have had...  will rest up a couple days & restock supplies..

Now Boston was more "city" than I care for...  we drove down to the waterfront & Mike enjoyed touring the USS Constitution
Was a beautiful ship & so much history...
Then on to the Old North Church,  but we never found Paul Revere's ....  too much traffic, one way streets & awful drivers...
Not to mention construction!!!

Then headed to the JFK Library on crown pt....the bldg was over the top & right on the water....chatted with a security guard there & got some inside scoop...

We even wandered into Rhode Island  for a bit....that will put us in every state in all our travels in the last 50+ years,  lol...  except Hawaii & that is not a good place right now...  feel so bad for those people...

Purdie is doing good...gets attention every where we take her...even the soldiers at the navy yard...

Say an extra prayer for my eyes...  I talked with my Dr Bryan this morning & if it gets worse I'm going to have to see a Dr here.

So we are just travelling along...stopping so Mike gets a break...  enjoying the scenery....Moose warnings all thru Maine but no luck...   had great clam chowder in Boston,  lobster rolls on the list...

Prayers that everyone is doing good...
Blessings,   Mike and Dee

The Idaho Potato Truck

Hey everyone....   well Mike got his wish & we pulled out of Franklin on Sun aftn at 3..
We made it into Va that first night...

Our highlight for Mon was meeting the gang in the Idaho potato truck...   they passed us,  but were at the next rest area so we got to meet them & take pics...  they travel the country doing charity benefits....was a hoot & lots of laughs!

Drove to the PA welcome center mon nite.
A good stop & able to sleep...

Tues was a long day thru PA, NY & CT...
The roads in the north were as bad as I feared....felt like a paint can mixer in some places...

We arrived in Boston at the Minuteman C.G.  by 5...able to open up & relax....
Rain this morning...great timing...
Tomorrow is a day exploring Boston...

Prayers everyone is well...
Blessings,  Mike & Dee
