1200 miles to Baah Habaah

We had a beautiful morning when we left Fort Wayne. It was a bit cooler than the original forecast, leaving us with 68-70 degrees for the first lag of the trip. Definitely a wonderful way to spend my birthday!!

We got quite a few miles in before stopping for lunch. Amidst the vineyards of northern Pennsylvania, we got off the highway and traveled north to a little town called Northwest. We stopped at a place called Johnny B’s for a quick lunch.

Now that’s one big meatball sandwich!!!
Back on the road, a couple of fuel stops before our destination…

Now that’s a marketing strategy!
Northville, New York is at the base of the adarondack mountains, about 20 miles north of I90. It was getting dark, and we were starting to get chilly after 13.5 hours on the bike and about 700 miles. We stayed at the Flip Inn, a quaint little motel on Great Sacandaga Lake.

There to great us was our host and her attack dog, Snowball.

There are two spots to dine, right on the lake. We ate at The Sport Island Pub and enjoyed great chowder, little neck clams and a tasty burger.

The lake was beautiful in the early morning, with the mist hovering over the lake in the chilly air.

We found a nice old diner, The Northampton Diner to get in a quick breakfast before heading East.

We traveled from Northville to Keene, New Hampshire on highway 9 or Molly Stark Scenic Highway. We enjoyed beautiful views of Vermont’s Green Mountain National Forest.

Keene, New Hampshire…

We got to Bar Harbor in the evening, a beautiful drive through a gorgeous state. We drove over an amazing bridge near Prospect, Maine called the Fort Knox Bridge.

We arrived at our destination, The Canterbury Cottage, a quaint bed and breakfast in downtown historic Bar Harbor.

We had dinner of boiled Maine lobster at the Portside Grill, and a wonderful breakfast hosted by Martha and Tim at the cottage. We met three other couples at the house, and had a nice stay. Our room was clean and decorated beautifully. We stayed in the Sun Island room. It was too bad we were only staying one night, because there is so much to do on the island with the Acadia National Park, Caddilac mountain and all the shops and restaurants in downtown Bar Harbor.

Other than Jeffrey’s sore right hand from the throttle, we are no worse for wear. This morning is a beautiful day and we are headed to Amherst, Nova Scotia. HooHa!! J&M
