We left Amherst, Nova Scotia early Friday a.m. ,as planned. Got refills at Tim's near Moncton in the new thermal mugs we got for Christmas from son Rob and Darlene. Lunch was pizza and cheesecake from Karen's fridge!  Hit the Sunshine near Saint John,held it until St.Stephen.Seen many deer coming out to enjoy the sunshine!  Bought gas as soon as we crossed the border, then of course drove half a mile and gas was six cents cheaper a gallon, happens to us all the time in the States! All along the #9 hwy in Maine we noted no one had power,lots of work crews along the road!  Parked in the Brewer Wal-Mart, slept well until the back-hoe and trucks started removing mountains of snow from the parking lot.  We left at 2 a.m. and found a quieter place to sleep, the Farmington cemetery, as pictured above!  Gas 16 cents a gallon cheaper in New Hampshire, box of wine four times cheaper then home, five litre box for 11.99, thirty beer for 22 bucks. Seen our first hawk this p.m. Settled in a motel in Vermont for Saturday night, truck camper plugged in, nice hot showers, sure beats last night in the camper. Camper is filthy, filthy, but rain tomorrow, will probably wash itself before we hit New York State!
Driving through the ice & snow in Maine & hope not to see it again !
