Touring The Great North – Part 17 – Maine, Tip To Tip

We had one last big driving day for our Canadian trip. We drove through Maine, tip to tip. Maine is beautiful, particularly at this time of year. We literally drove all the way down through Maine, and we did it all in one day. We were on a time crunch now. We had to be back in Boston for our flight the next day, so we didn’t have much time to stop or dilly dally around. I would have preferred to stop and take in the sights more, rather than just driving straight through, but it is what it is. We did take a few short stops to stretch our legs a bit, but no real long stops.

We tried to go to the Chocolate Museum, but it was closed. This is right at the Maine/Canadian border.

Across the river was Canada. I took these shots of the pigeons on the Maine side.

The fall colors were still spectacular.

American flags lined both sides of this stretch of the road.

Again, no real moose, just the man made ones.

We did see a momma dear and her fawn though on the side of the road. It was already getting dark, and momma was not staying still too long. She wanted to get her fawn to safety as quickly as she could, so this picture was the best shot I could get before momma and baby were on the move once again.

We also saw some wild turkeys. They too had to run, and were on the move. This is turkey time of year after all. If they stay still for too long, they will turn out to be someone’s Thanksgiving dinner.

Our Northern adventure was winding down fast. It was quickly coming to an end. But we had a lot of fun and many great adventures along the way. We will always have many happy memories from this fantastic fall trip.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Live those adventures and make those memories. They will stay with you forever. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
