Day 7 515 miles
Indian Lake, New York to Sherman, Maine. Weatherwise, the day was cloudy and overcast with occasional misting. Did not slow us down much and we did even see the sun a couple of times. The riding was slow due to traffic and a lot of construction, and tiring. We are about 2.5 hours away from the start of the ride. We will do our check in at the various points and then start heading south. The scenery was great, mostly woods with some interspersed farm fields. A lot of interesting houses in the many towns that we went through. We picked up highway 2 again in Vermont and then across New Hampshire into main the on I-95 to our present location. We went by the birthplace of the US Navy in New York. I don't remember the name of the place. In many places there were church steeples on the hillside sticking up above the trees. We went by one church that had just celebrated their 225 year anniversary. Many old brick factories and other buildings. A long time in the saddle and tiring. We had hoped to get to Madawaska today but felt it would be safer to stop and then get a good start in the morning, also the route we are taking is known as moose alley.
Keep watching the emails for your updates. You are making great progress--love that part of New England. Hope smooth sailing lies ahead.
