So, I left a day later than planned due to that pesky check engine light....I had it checked and it's a problem for sure to the tune of about $1200.00 but it's not a problem that will cause me to break down...so, I hit the road today....

My friend mapquested it out for me before I left...I kept looking at the mileage and the time and saying that can't be right! It doesn't take 4 1/2 hours to drive 180 miles....nope, it takes 5 1/2!!!! It started snowing in VT and snowed thru most of New Hampshire...back to a HEAVY rain in Maine.
It was my first time EVER to see SNOW! Talk about excited :-)

So, as planned I headed up to Rumford. It was both exactly what I expected and nothing like I expected! I couldn't find a 'friendly open place' to stay for the night so I backtracked a bit...and found a lovely site and when I went to dinner by myself I met the nicest stranger who REFUSED to allow me to pay for my dinner...even though I did everything in my power to not allow it, he bought my dinner when he found out I was a traveler all the way from Texas on my big adventure. Helps restore my faith in humanity....

as did....

MY BIG FIRST TIME EVER CD MEMBER MEETING! Yes folks, I met 7th Generation today!!! He had DM'd me with the location of his business and I stopped right in to say hello! He was as friendly as could be and I was thrilled that he had that map you all rave over for sale! I got me one and will be pouring over it later :-) I will stop back by tomorrow when I am thru that way again! More on that tomorrow!

So, I'm thrilled to be here and love what I have seen so far!

Stacie
Good for you Stacie you have more fortitide than most men I know. Hope 7th gave you a discount on the map. Sounds like you're having fun so far!

I hope you get a hold of me so we can meet up somewhere around Bangor. I will be in town tomorrow noonish (client meeting) and will be there through supper time so I won't be at the phone.

I will have my laptop and will try to hit a WiFi spot or two during the day.
