DAY 13 JUNE 14, 2013

This will be pretty short as I'm tired and on a borrowed computer. We had a great day across New York on route 20 before turning onto the Interstate, skirting Boston during evening rush hour. Ended the day in Portland Maine where we met an old friend for a nice dinner at a local steak house. Evelyn had met four of us before on the four corners trip and I know her through mutual friends and her trips to Phoenix. In 2007 her husband Jeff road with us to the top of Maine as a friend and guide, he has since passed away but we have fond memories of that time with him.

Tomorrow we will be completing more and more of US Route 2. Last year we rode it in the northwest, two years ago we rode route 2 across the upper peninsula of Michigan. We seem to slowly be covering more and more of this coast to coast route a little at a time. Maybe it would be fun to do all of it at once sometime. Click here for Route 2 link.

Stopped for lunch today in the beautiful city of Williamstown Mass the home of Williams College which was established in the 1790's as a private liberal arts college. The countryside of New York from a motorcycle seat on secondary roads can be breathtaking. Lots of farmland with the picturesque white two story homes with people out mowing the yards or trimming on a beautiful 70 degree June day.

Tomorrow up the coast of Maine then turning west towards Vermont and New Hampshire.

Glad you were able to meet up with Evelyn in the beautiful state of Maine. Your Four Corners Ride probably brought back many memories. I'm sure Jeff was with you in spirit and Evelyn was grateful you took time to remember her.
PS. I was mowing the yard...NOT 70degree June day!
You'll soon be heading back. Enjoy. Love, me xoxoxo
