No internet for a couple of days. We’ve been in Patten, Maine at an old farmhouse. It is incredible here. We are really out in the middle of nowhere, with fields of grasses, trees, and Mt. Katahdin in the background. Mike says it reminds him of being home at the farm (minus the mts of course). We spent the day driving from Glen, NH. We were going to do the interstate most of the way, but decided on the scenic route, and followed Rt. 1 along the coast and up to Bangor (all Sara could think of was Stephen King). We happened upon the Delorme headquarters, which is really cool because we both LOVE maps! They had a giant rotating earth in the building, and we picked up a couple of maps for the trip. We drove past LLBean in Freeport, but too many people were around to stop. We stopped at a roadside food stand selling lobster rolls, so we had our first lobster of the trip. $15.95 for a dinky roll. Oh well – it was still yummy. We are still trying to decide what hikes to do in Baxter State Park. We had planned on Katahdin, but there is a chance of storms, so we’ll have to see when we get there. It is supposed to be a very exposed area, so you don’t want to be there in a T-storm!!

Patten, Maine!! That's right west of where we go and stay in Maine every summer (Island Falls along Pleasant Lake)! I really wish we were there right now so we could meet up. Look like you guys are having a blast! Peter and I were unable to hike Mt. Katahdin a couple years ago because of storms, but we ended hiking around South Branch Pond and that was really nice. - Catherine
