Our time in Maine is almost over. We have one more day to explore then we will be moving down the coast to the northernmost village in the state called Salisbury in Massachusetts. Our traveling companions, Gloria, Les, Don and Ardella will be heading back toward the White Mountains in New Hampshire for a couple weeks to make sure they are in the thick of things when the leaves change color. Phil and I are going to stay nearer the coastal regions and enjoy the colors from that prospective. If we are able to coordinate our plans, we’ll most likely join up again in a few weeks a bit farther south.
The weather here around Bangor has been uncooperative to say the least with lots of low-lying fog, considerable cloud cover (= no satellite connection), some serious wind gusts the last couple days and lots of precipitation, in all stages from sprinkles to downpour. The few days (including today) the sun came out it was warm and somewhat humid but we managed to see some very beautiful countryside. To Phil and I, Maine is very similar to Washington State minus the tall evergreen trees. The evergreens in Maine are mostly Pine and Spruce but the majority of trees are deciduous, hence the brilliant leaf color across every hill and dale in the autumn which begins this coming Thursday, the 22nd of September.
