Tour of Maine

Well we finally made it out of Maine. On Monday we started at 5am on the farm in kansas. We then flew first to laguardia and then on to Bangor. Both trips were on tiny little planes but Rae and I sat next to each other on the flights so they were enjoyable. We then hopped a cab to the bike shop where we had shipped our disassembled bike. We put it together and got out just before closing time. We then called our warm showers hosts. They weren't home but let us stay in their great old house. We woke up the next day and Rae felt terrible. So we only made it about 20 miles. There we got a camp spot for way too much money but it served its purpose by allowing Rae to feel much better. The last few days have been a blur of ice cream, lakes and cute little tourist towns. When we left the camp site we took somewhat of along way through Maine somehow forgetting that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line not straight west and straight south. But Maine was beautiful and most of the roads seem to have wide shoulders. If you looked at the location at the top you probably noticed that were in New Hampshire. Yes we finally made it out of Maine today on our rest day. We did laundry today and took some showers. Hopefully we'll make it to massachusetts tomorrow. Well keep you posted.

Flagstaff farewelled us with sleet and snow and a late start; we were further delays by a carsick cat and an escaped dog in Winslow. After a long two days of driving in an overloaded car we arrived in Leavenworh, Ks and hung out with my family for a few days before our flight to Bangor Me in the morning. We packed everything for the tour then checked the pack list; the only thing we will be leaving without is the soap, we will get some shortly I'm sure. Tomorrow will mostly be spent flying and putting the tandem back together before the short twelve mile ride to Winterport, then the real fun shall begin on Tuesday.
