Nonamedufus: Aw, thanks! You just have to go to Bah Hahbah, well, go to Acadia anyway. Ah, Ogunquit. Lovely place. Interesting sites. First place I've been to that made my jaw drop while people watching!

Hey Deb, nicely done. Maine's a gorgeous state. Never been to Bah Hahbah but I loved Ogunquit and have read everything Stephen King has written.

BB: Come back and do it right!

RG: Maineah's do everything the hard way! Have to admit, I didn't know that whole shotgun/rifle thing either. They both shoot, so what's the big deal?

Claire: Check the next post. I can't believe I forgot that God-awful Penobscot Narrows Bridge from Hell on the way to Acadia. All the times I've been to Acadia, never the right tide for Thunder Hole. Sad, huh?

FLMD: I too thought the road trip bottomed out. That damned clown scared the crap out of me.

How's this for a Maine name: Mooselookmeguntic. Didn't make that one up, either!

Thanks for stopping by and creating a great trip!

Unfinished Rambler: If you aren't from Maine, you are a flatlander. Some goofy Maine law. I am a flatlander technically since I was not born here, but I've been called that many times...along with some other colorful names. Ah, don't fret about DeLorme. It was too far south for day one's road trip, but not in tomorrow's!

I'm not a flatlander, fyi. I live in Pennsylvania. We got hills too, you know. ;)

I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the Delorme globe yet. That to me was the highlight of my trip to Maine a couple of years ago.

Yay! Thanks, Deb. I was worrying the bus had broken down for good.

Wonderful post. I've always wanted to visit Maine, birthplace of Mr. Dressup, Commander Riker, and Pennywhistle the killer clown who was really a cosmic spider and lived in the sewers of Derry.

But admit it -- you made up Mt. Megunticook, didn't you?

Ahhhhhhh - you are making an armchair tourist of me. What a lovely trip. Thanks!

PS: I cannot believe we went all the way to Ellsworth and did not stop to shop at Chez Rene (Reny's). You know the place - it's where all you "Mainahs" go when you want "new stuff" (as opposed to the Salvation Army Store, where one purchases "vintage"). Maybe we can stop on the way back? Oh! Oh! And can we go to Thunder Hole?

Nice job, Deb! You are a great hostess. You didn't push any of the flatlanders out of the trucks. You know how annoying tourists can be!

I didn't know about the APT and the hardest parts being in Maine. I guess that means that you Main-ahs have to do it the hard way, huh?

I also did not know the difference between shotguns and rifles. Mark had to explain that to me.

I think we need you to record and post the pronunciations of some of those towns!

I think I visited the wrong parts of Maine on my last vacation.

LL: Hey, if I have to live here, everyone else is going to suffer along with me. Suck it up and just read, will ya?

Me-Me King: Why thank you!

TJ: My apologies on the shotgun/rifle thing. I only know about BB guns. You may get the tourists/vacationers, but we get the snotty summer residents, the 'other half' with their second homes here in Maine. That's OK though, the state of Maine slaps them with higher property taxes than the rest of us. Glad you dried out. Wouldn't want you getting moldy.

Wow Deb!!! Awesome pictures!!! And please, it'...

2009-07-01T06:15:44.959-04:00

Wow Deb!!! Awesome pictures!!! And please, it's a shotgun not a rifle... there's a difference, ya know??? Great trip so far!!! I'm all a'quiver at the thought of the rest of it... but I want to say here and now, you may have more vacation homes, but I swear to all that is evil, during the months of May, June, July and August, we must have all the "vacationeers/tourists" down here... damn there eyes!!! O.k. all the "old man places" are dry, let's get on with it!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely beautiful! You have done a wonderful job, can't wait for Day 2.

Dammit Deb! You can't fool me! This is just another of them posts where you claim your undying love for ME! Isn't once a week good enough? I mean... really, do people want to know that you love ME that much?
