2023 Summer Road Trip – Day 46 – Back in the USA

Saturday, August 19, 2023

We started the day with rain and fog again.  But again, by mid-morning the sun was shining brightly, and it was a delightful day.  We had our blueberry scone we got from the bakery yesterday for breakfast – very good – and then went through all our food in BB to be sure we didn’t have anything the would be disallowed at the border.  We made sure we had eaten all our fresh produce and citrus.  We had about a thirty-five-minute wait due to the number of vehicles in front of us at the Calais crossing. Longest delay we have ever had coming back into the country.  We were surprised.  We thought Saturday morning at a small-town crossing would be quick.  Oh, well.  We were in no hurry.  As soon as we cleared customs, we headed to Walmart to restock the refrigerator with produce.  Then, for the rest of the day we enjoyed the scenery making our way south.  We stopped for a picture of the huge Paul Bunyon statue when we drove through Bangor.

We arrived at our Harvest Host site in Lincolnville, ME midafternoon.  There are now three of us – a Florida couple in a Roadtrek van who also returned to the US today, a tent camper from Georgia and BB, all enjoying the peaceful rural farm.  Our hosts will be joining us shortly for a tour.  We will fill you in on that tomorrow. It’s been a good day!
