Stardate 09052010.1

Thanks Zach and Erin for food and lodging! We spent yesterday in lewisburg and selinsgrove pa (located in the north centralish part of the state) and did lots of fun things! Liiiike...

Saw the worlds longest inflatable dam and the worlds smallest eat-in restaurant!

Drank some really nice beer at the Selinsgrove Brewing Co. where they grow all their own hops on the premises!

Watched Toy Story 3 at the drive-in! So fun and the first drive-in Mark has been to.

Overall a relaxing day. It was nice to take a break from driving. Did some safety checks and even took a shower!

En route to O-hi-o now.



Mark is so hoppy to be here

So, before we got to lame-town herkimer, ny, we drove through vermont and stopped at the Cabot Creamery! Ya know, like the cheddar cheese? Took a fun tour and sampled about a pound of cheese. Each! And apparently, their cheddar cheese doesn't have to be refrigerated! It might get a little moldy, but you can just cut that off and keep eating! We got a block for the road.






We made a little detour to Olean, ny and visited the area where my grandmother grew up.
In Lewisburg, PA with Zach tonight. It feels kinda like cheating coming back through PA, but we drove through some beautiful national forests along the way. Everything is still new to see.

Herkimer, NY

Don't go there.

Ya know what I Maine?

As per justin's instructions we stopped at the LL Bean outlet which really did take up like 8 city blocks. we Mosed around the "campus" for a bit then hit the road. On our way up to Acadia NP via scenic route 1 we stopped at a small stand to purchase real wild Maine blueberries. Nummy! The wild berries are tiny and not as sweet but seriously freakin amazing, especially mix with yogurt and granola for breakfast the next morning.
Camped at seawall for two nights. Nice to sleep in a tent and see the stars. On our first day in the park we got up super early to watch the red sunrise from the summit of mt Cadillac.
23 mile bike ride on the loop around the park, then took an icy swim At sand beach.
Walked around fancy bar harbor (pronounced bah hahbah).
Saw a family of otters and their house in a lake near our campsite.
Now we are Burlington bound or bust.
