Mile 603

This morning I left home early to ride up to Madawaska, ME, the official starting point of my 4 Corner USA Run.  Going north on I-91 onto I-90 and I-495 in the early morning hours was no problem, and before I knew it I was circling Boston and was on my way to I-95 which should bring me to the Canadian border.  Of course as always when I'm traveling, the weather changed from hot, to hot and rainy, to muggy and heavy air, to rain again.  Just enough time in-between to almost dry out, so you could get soaked again.  Perhaps this was the reason that I missed the turn on to Hwy-1 going North, but instead I was on the "no turn anymore" allowed traffic lanes into Canada.  The boarder officer was nice and allowed me to cross over their parking lot, handing me back my ID and allowed me to back enter the USA.  And the officer at the US side had a big smile when I told him my story and told me I missed the exit about 3 miles before coming to the border.  Anyway, we had a good chit-chat, and also he let me in again, and then I was up on my way to Madawaska, the Northeastern starting point of my journey.

Leaving home - not the same without my buddy

The only moose I saw today - Van Buren, ME at the International Bridge

Got my photo proof, will get my tank slip tomorrow morning, and then the clock starts ticking for me.  If everything goes like today, it should be a breeze again going back to where I came from today.  Roads up here are great, good conditions, and hardly no traffic.  Fun to ride up here.
