A Long Day

Ryan really tired in the morning

Emily tired in the morning

             We got away pretty quick after a stop at McDonalds.  As I was walking back to the car I noticed that the spare tire on the trailer was falling away.  2 of the 3 bolts were gone and the 3^rd was the only thing keeping it on.  Off to Lowe’s.  I found the right size bolts on first try (go figure) and some glue.  Did I mention that I forgot to bring tools?  Back into Lowe’s for a ratchet set, screwdrivers and wrenches (now the trailer toolkit). 

            So now it is 11:00 and we are just hitting the highway.  New York , Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine. 

            At 10:00 we were just passing Bangor, Maine when Mary Pat suggested we get a room here.  I want to push on.  What a mistake!  The last hour to the Canadian border is a twisty-turny 2 lane dark, dark highway.  After 20 minutes I give up and turn around.  Again we get to bed late.  Still 5 more hours to go.  This seems like a really, really long dirve.  MP doesn’t think so.
