I have been to many of the places that you shared in your album so it made for lots random memories popping up. What a trip! How about having the local newspaper interview you when you come back through Ellsworth. This is such a great story. Let me know what you think. It could be fun for you while making a wonderful story. Many people pass through Ellsworth on their way to Acadia, but your adventure tops them all! Have fun on Tuesday! Cheers!

And I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed reading bits and pieces of your blog. What an adventure! If I can get my act together maybe we can go out for a boatride on Frenchman Bay over the next few days. I'll keep you posted!Hope your trip to Bar Harbor was good. It's a crummy road, but Acadia is so beautiful. Enjoy it! The Quimby House will be able to help you with the bus schedule for the island if you want to venture beyond bar harbor. Check out Sargent Drive...the fjord is located there. And Sicily....I'll meet you guys there, the biking is wonderful. Hope to see you. Get in touch if you need any tips...Carry On, LeslieIt's a Maine Thinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601774692323453733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887615167396394017.post-88490610558151356792010-09-20T08:46:54.741-07:002010-09-20T08:46:54.741-07:00Hi There,
Sorry to read about "Trusty" ...Hi There,<br /><br />Sorry to read about "Trusty" breaking down. I know how that feels. I've had a few close calls this year with "Alice" (bottom bracket, headset, and rear tire sidewall blowout). I've stopped at the bike shop in Bath before.<br /><br />I can sympathize with you on how bad the roads are in Maine. I rode along the Maine Coast last year. The roadway will get better when you get closer to Portland.<br /><br />Well, I might be at the end-point for this year's trip. I arrived at my friend's house outside of Lexington, South Carolina near Columbia yesterday afternoon. I'm tuckered out from the trip this year (a little over 7,500 miles). Alice needs a break and my left wrist isn't still fully recovered from the mishap back in Pennsylvania 4 weeks ago.<br /><br />Will be reading your blog to see how the rest of the trip goes. You are getting closer and closer each day.<br /><br />Take care and I'll be praying for you.<br /><br />Your friend ,<br /><br />The Cycling RevRev Johannes Myors - Pedal Prayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070172497685821918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887615167396394017.post-50476334668507456202010-09-20T03:35:42.182-07:002010-09-20T03:35:42.182-07:00Hi Ant & Kat

Must be very strange to be so close to completing your trip, hope your last 3 states go well and that you're looking forward to reaching your destination. You'll probably need a holiday after all this! You've done so well, enjoy the last bit and I look forward to catching up with you again soon.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471079500336255465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887615167396394017.post-28146455255084553992010-09-20T01:15:36.735-07:002010-09-20T01:15:36.735-07:00Note from the Grovenders on their trip via SB:

Hope it is plain sailing from now to the "big apple". Love to you both from us both.
