Bangor, ME.

5-4-23 BANGOR, MAINE: It was another trek, from VT to NH to Maine. We’re here to pick up our new retriever, Blue, from her kennel, Goldenridge, in Hampden. She was a breeding dog, now retired at age five, who we are adopting, and whom Judy hopes to convert to a therapy dog. We get her at noon and then drive back to VT, hopefully in time to pick up the other three who are boarding in Orford for a big meet and greet.

We did about 320 miles from VT to Concord, NH to Portsmouth, NH to Portland, ME to Bangor, all on highways with only one stop in Kittery, ME at Bob’s Clam Hut and the Mobil station. We usually stop at Bob’s during the summer when it’s jammed to the rafters, but today  it was easy to order and the food came out fast! 

In the last month we have driven from South Carolina to NJ and on to VT and now ME. Throw in a few days driving in FL and we drove the whole east coast except for Georgia. 

It’s still raining here, I think that makes a week.

This is the bird that Merlin and I think is an American tree sparrow. It's an iPhone pic which explains the quality.
