The day's trek ended at a campground outside of Naples, ME. $41 is steep for a place to pitch a tent. On top of that showers demanded that you pump quarters to keep the warm water flowing. They did have a small indoor pool and hot tub so all wasn't lost. Enough complaining...
Riding today was better than yesterday, maybe I'm learning to suffer better. Did a better job of staying hydrated. The weather was cooler than yesterday, too. Still plenty of hills but we had a few stretches of relatively flat terrain. Could get into a flatland riding groove and ride with out a care. Saw some scenic farmlands, rode along a wide, slow moving river and spoke with folks curious about our agenda at the various places we stopped for food and rest.
Crossing over I 95 was a milestone of sorts. The coast is now behind us as we move quickly towards New Hampshire and the White Mountains. Tomorrow we'll climb. A lot.
We are about 195 miles along the Northern Tier now.
Cheers!
