Moosehead, Katahdin and Rain

Woke up Saturday after the night rain and saw grim cloudy skies.  We planned to explore a bit and then maybe get the kayak in the water again from a different spot.  We found a fun antique store in Monson - owner wants to sell and travel - anyone interested in buying it?  Did not find anything we could not live without, although some beautiful wooden bowls were tempting.  We then took a drive past Prong Lake where there are AT through hikers hostels as well as trailheads.  

We looked at the map and thought a drive to Mount Katahdin would be fun since we are never going to hike to the top - at least we could say we had been there!  The sweet young woman at the information center told us there were two routes: one on unpaved roads and one on paved and each took two hours.  We decided to do a circle with the unpaved part the first half.  Let us just say we assume she had never taken that unpaved road and we will never take it again!  We have now seen the real back woods of Maine...  It was really good to get back to our campground.

We had a nice leftover steak stirfry for dinner and were enjoying a good fire in the pit when the rain started again.   Rained all night and we left at 9 AM heading for NY through Canada.  

We are staying at a big RV resort tonight and moving towards western NY tomorrow.   A sure sign you have been on the road a while is getting excited that there is a laundry close to the campsite.  🤪
