Lubec, ME.

From Bass Harbor, we headed up the coast of Maine to Lubec, right on the Canadian border.

 

We camped right next to Johnson Bay part of the Quoddy Narrows, a river that rises and falls with the tides.

Of course, we had to ride to the border and to the top of the bridge to step to the Canadian side.

Campobello lighthouse and island on the Canadian side were Franklin Roosevelt's summering place.  He spent many of his summers here growing up.  At 39 years old, he contracted polio here and was not able to walk again.  Campobello was turned into an international park in 1962.

Soon we were looking riding around town taking in their Lubec resident's artwork and taking advantage of an open ice cream parlor.

The clouds were telling us that rain may be coming but we had to ride to the Quoddy Lighthouse.  It surely was not going to rain on us!

On our ride to the Quoddy Lighthouse, Beth eyed a porcupine who decided he needed to move on when we took an interest.

A farm gate from the depths of the sea was a delight to see.

We started our east coast ride from the most southern point of the US at Key West and finished at the easternmost point of the US at the Canadian border.

And we did ride back to camp in a rainstorm!!  On the way back as it was raining on us in bright sunshine the sun gave us two rainbows!! I was not fast enough to catch the first one.

The sunsets take a long time here and are a joy to soak up.
