Started our extended Memorial weekend trip last night. Left home at 16:00 and arrived in Ft Kent at 21:30. On the ride up it was partly sunny and nice. From Patten Maine heading north on route 11, we ran into rain for the last 100 miles. In Ashland we saw 12 deer next to the rode. We were glad they stayed away from the road. Just North of Portage, I saw a movement on the road. It was a Moose, I slowed down in a hurrry and the darn Moose decided he wanted to cross the road, which he did. I was all but stopped. I look where he was heading and there was another Moose standing on the side of the road. My wife made sure I did not go over 40 mph after that. After no more than 5 miles later we were going up this long steep hill(Susses Hill) and at the top there is a swamp donkey mud hole. We saw one of the biggest bull Moose strutting thru all of the mud, he had smaller side kick with him. So that makes 4 moose in less than 10 miles. About another mile a Bobcat ran across the rode in front of us. That is pretty much it for wildlife sightings. Got up this morning and made my 08:00 appointment. Had rear tire replaced and they did and update(New) for 2010 to 2012 RT's. Tech told me it was a new one. I do not know what it does. Left Maine at 11:45 and crossed the Border into Cananda. Before we left Customs I made sure I changed the speedometer from mph to kmh. Another note if you are using a credit card in a foriegn country, make sure you call that company up and tell them you will be using this card in a foreign country. It sucks having the card not work, because of unusaul transactions. Also you may want to contact your phone provider, it is a good chance your cell phone will not work. We arrived in a town named Hartland. It has the longest covered bridge in the world, 1,282 feet long. It is still in use. AWESOME. We finally arrived in Fredericton, NB. Tomorrow we will be heading toward Prince Edward Island. I'll keep you posted. I have some pics.
