WE MADE IT TO MAINE! After 77 days and somewhere between 4,500 and 4,600 miles later we landed in Maine on October 13th 2012. The pictures and captions below are out journeys from Kentucky to Niagara Falls and then east to Maine. Our last haul brought us through a car hitting Taylor and snapping his fork in half, snow in the mountains of Vermont, an encounter with a cross country horse back rider, and tie dyed trees of the Northeast fall.
Thanks to all that helped us make this successful and gave us your homes, beds, yards, food, conversation and support.
Pictures run in order with a few from us landing in Maine and then go from Indiana to Maine.
