Heading Home Part Two

Next stay, Jordanelle State Park. We had to wait until after Labor Day weekend to find a camping spot! We hiked in the Uintas and visited Park City, Utah. The Uinta hike was amazingly beautiful, starting from the Crystal Lake Trailhead. I had hiked it with Joe and Margie in 2010 and wanted to come back with Jude, so here we are. Lots of photos, only a part of the many we took, so many beautiful lakes and mountains along the way. Enjoy!

This is the end of the trip, hard to believe almost 2 ½ months went by so fast! Ari and Tommy performed great, weather behaved, and we saw so many new and beautiful places. It was a trip to remember!

Now, where do we go next!

Heading Home From Nova Scotia

Heading west. Across New York State, some of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and visited Minnesota family. This section had the most road construction so far, lots of roughness. We parked in Faribault, Minnesota at Ron’s house, along with lots of mosquitos, more than even the old timers have seen in a while! We visited Harley and Roma Lee in Lakeville, and went to the Minnesota State Fair with Ron and Bruce. The last time Judy and I went to the State Fair was 45 years ago – hard to believe!

Then on across I-80 through Nebraska, Wyoming, and on to Utah.

New Hampshire and Vermont

After our time in Maine, we went to New Hampshire and stayed near the White Mountains in Carroll/Twin Mountain. We traveled along the Franconia Notch Parkway, saw where the “Old Man of the Mountain” was, and hiked a beautiful trail. A place to return to.

We stayed next outside of Quechee, Vermont, near Woodstock, another place to spend more time in. We found the home of Calvin Coolidge, a maple syrup farm, and found many interesting little places. We went to our first LL Bean store too!

Acadia National Park, Main

Next, Maine and Acadia National Park! We crossed the border from New Brunswick to Maine and saw lots of trees, for miles and miles and miles! We took Highway 9, a two-lane road across Maine with almost no gas stations! Good thing we have a 38 gallon tank! As we neared the area near Bar Harbor, Maine, the traffic got very thick, all of the (us) vacationers. We stayed in the Seawall Campground on the west side of Acadia NP and the traffic lessened. We had a beautiful site as you will see in the photos. The park was diverse and beautiful. We did venture into Bar Harbor the next day, a cute tourist town. Enjoy the images.
