Finally in Bar Harbor!

We're finally in Bar Harbor Maine three-thousand-four-hundred-ninety miles and five days later we made it here late last night.
Since our last update we drove through Ontario, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. A total of around 30 hours of driving in two days. We stopped to make dinner at a rest stop in New York and our stove attracted the attention of a couple of the rest stop employees. Kelly and Randy, who we shared a couple pots of coffee with, were pretty interesting folks and entertaining too. we drove for a while and then drove a while longer we slept at a KOA and woke up and were driving at dawn. Lauren tends to get bored of driving after around an hour and a half so I did a fair bit of the driving. We're both antsy to get on the bikes and move. Last night when we rolled into town we hooked up with Ivan Willig and went to a couple of bars and slept in his friend's backyard.
We woke in the morning to a light drizzle which has now developed into a full rain shower.
this afternoon we plan on cruising down to Mt Desert and waiting until the sun comes out tomorrow to really begin the ride proper.
Because we're bidding farewell to the car and the laptop some future updates may be sporadic.
Wheeee!!!
