This day’s ride began with sunshine coastal views of rugged rock formations. I stopped and photographed the harbor in Lincolnville ME and continued along towards Acadia National Park touring the parks loop of scenic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and Bar Harbor.
The loop leads to Cadillac Mountain at 1,532 feet, is the highest point along the North Atlantic seaboard and is the first place to view sunrise in the US from October through March and is largely composed of pink granite.
Locals described I-95 north of Bangor ME as “the sticks”, and potato farmer area. Their statements were correct, because about twenty miles north of Bangor ME, not only did I-95 lanes narrow but the median strip widened with trees, shrubs and the distance between exits increased. It is weird not seeing traffic traveling in the opposite direction for periods of time.
Spent the night a couple of miles south the Canadian border at the Ivey hotel. The area is definitely geared to truckers. Not much to see or look at only signs describing the Canadian boarder ahead.
