Well our plans for the day was ruined by the weather....again! As you can see by the pictures, more rain and fog. These are our views as we pass through the Presidential Range of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. It rained pretty heavy all night and when we woke up there was standing water all around our camper. Nothing is worse then camping in rain AND mud! We decided to just keep driving eastward to Maine.
The fall foliage is beautiful (even with the rain). The hills look like they are on fire with the autumn hues. We were told that out of every five hardwood trees, two of them are sugar maples. Now that explains all the colors.
Just across the Maine state line, we visited the information center. They have the best maps and brochures and the workers there are usually full of great knowledge. So we always try and stop at those little houses. There was this elderly women behind the desk who were approached and asked what interesting things we could see along US 2, on our way to Bar Harbor. She didn't hesitated in saying "nothing". Although she did mention that the city of Rumford (where we were at) was where Edmund Muskie was from and he was her high school history teacher!
Interesting fact about Maine: it grows 99% of all of the US blueberries.
We are about an hour west of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Headed there tomorrow for the next couple of days. The rain hopefully will be out of here and we can enjoy some outdoors. If not, we are headed south real soon.
