July 24 East Coast

Woke up early this morning to some fog. It was so humid that my clothes did not dry and the brake rotors on the bike were rusted. 20 degrees at 7am so the wet jacket didn't matter much. Rode as close to the coast as possible but the coastal highways are busy and constant stopping in towns and villiages. I tried the interstate eventually and rode through ( or rather under) Boston. This is why my spot tracker stopped sending its feed so there is no path to follow today. The tunnel under Boston is fantastic, a result of what they called the "Big Dig".
After Boston the interstate became a parking lot for over an hour while cars moved through the toll plaza. Toll roads everywhere. Eventually I got moving again and changed back to the coastal highway. Mostly cloudy and overcast today so not many photos but I did have a great ride through some notable spots like Salem and Portland.

Tonight is at the Timberland RV park in Trenton Maine. Tomorrow New Brunswick

  1. So nice that the weather held up for today's ride. I've heard that the "Big Dig" is really cool and super long. I bet the little towns like Salem were very quaint with old builings, farms and lush vegetation. Sounds like an all round wondeful day.
    Good luck catching the St.John's Ferry tomorrow.
    Love you lots!!! W :D

  2. Yeah, I wondered where the little green guy on the bike went. Mystery solved. It's been fun watching him travel along. Some of the places I've noticed on the map as you've been passing by have been quite amusing: Dafter, Braintree & Marblehead...haha. Somehow I think they may be connected in a "grey matter" sort of way. I'm glad you are enjoying your travels & exploring. Good for the soul...AND the grey matter. :-)
