New Hampshire - Maine 2025

 0615-1825 

Just across the bridge over the Connecticut river, I found a quick guard rail cache to earn the New Hampshire souvenir. I set the GPS to the Home of Yankee Magazine and The Old Farmer's Almanac in Dublin NH where there is a Webcam Cache.

It was Sunday, so they weren't open so I was able to park in view of the camera and take a screenshot. 

The rest of the drive through the country side went by way to quick and I stayed off the turnpike. Before I knew it, I pulled into the Maine Welcome Center rest stop where I earned the Maine souvenir finding the 3 rest stop hides. One of them was a quick puzzle where the final was a little bird house inside the Welcome Center mounted on a post 

The campground I stayed at was north of Portland near NAS Brunswick, where I was stationed in 1984 - 1986.  The base is no longer in service, now it is an Executive Airport. I drove by the hospital where Danny was born then headed to Winslow State Park.  

My space right by the water and there was a nice winds coming off the sound.  After setting up I walked down to the cache hidden at Stockbridge Point. Sat for a while enjoying the sea breeze and the watching the sailboats return to port. Most of the spaces that were full had seasonal campers, people that reserve the space all summer. But the row I was on were by the night. 

The next day I rode Jaguarundi into town, found a nice trail by the YMCA. Locked the bike up and hiked to the end of the trail which reminded me of the trails in the NW where they use treat planks to maintain the trail. After that I rode down the main street to a roadside stand and had la lobster roll for lunch.  

When I first planned this I was going to go all the way to Canada after 2 days in Maine, but I decided that would be too far to drive on one day. So I booked Peaks-Kenny State Park for the next day. It was only 2 hours away and closer to Canada.  

I arrived in time to hike down to the lake and hunt the geocaches there. The lake had a beach that was full of families enjoying the niice weather. 

Making to Maine means that I have found a cache in all 50 states.  Instead of turning around and go back, I will get to work on the Canadian Providences, I already have British Columbia, but that is it. My route takes me to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edwards Island. Then instead of going back through New England, I will go through Quebec and Ontario. That leaves Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon. These will take more planning and maybe a few trips.
