Maine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We made it to our 12th and final state. When Marcee crossed over into Maine she raised her hands in the air. It is so exciting to enter Maine! Just three or four days to Bar Harbor.
After staying in Gorham we drove about 20 miles to Jefferson, NH to go to the Jefferson Christian Church. We really appreciated the warm reception from Pastor Dean Stiles and from the congregation after the services. Dressed in our biking gear for the day, including our Yellow Water for Life shirts we really stood out. Thank you Pastor Dean for allowing us to share about our trip during the announcements and for your prayers for us. Thank you to all who took time to visit with us, Margaret , Kim, Mike Ruth Walker (that was my Grandmother's name), Dan and Joan. Thank you to Tom and Polly for your donations. God is good as he has provided opportunities both here in New Hampshire and last Sunday in Fulton, New York without me doing anything in advance to set things up. Thank you Lord!
After we entered Maine we loaded the bikes and drove back into New Hampshire. We drove up the Mt. Washington Auto Road. The elevation at the base is around 1600 and at the Summit is 6288 so that is a pretty good elevation rise. We drove in low gear the whole time up and down. The road was narrow and without guard rails so it was a bit nervewracking at points especially near the top above tree line. They closed the road up the hill at 530 PM so when we started down at 605PM we had the whole width of the road. Here are some pictures:
