Day 12 - Home Again

---

Well, this is the closing blog from our trip to Nova Scotia. We left our campsite in New Brunswick Thursday morning to a beautiful day. We initially thought about staying the night near Bangor, ME, where we camped on our way to Nova Scotia 10 days ago, but after realizing it was only less than 2 hours away, we decided to just keep going and stay further south. Crossing the border, we stopped at US Customs and a very pleasant woman checked out our paperwork and asked if we had any fruits or vegetables. Told her that we had eaten most everything we d bought, but she wanted to come aboard and check. Looking in the fridge, she spotted the egg carton with two eggs left. She said that was not allowed and took them. I told her she just screwed up my breakfast tomorrow morning. I think it's just a way for them to lower their grocery bills.

We had a pleasant ride across the "Airline" (Rte 9) and stopped for lunch at the Purple Cow, just outside of Waterville, ME. Finally had a nice Lobster roll and some giant onion rings. Checking our "Campendium" app, we decided to stay at a campground just southwest of Augusta, on rte 202. It was a lovely spot, nestled in the trees, with very friendly folks running the place. After setting up, we took a little walk around and then sat outside the RV with a bottle of wine and a plate of nachos.

Woke again to a beautiful day, and set the GPS to home. Turns out they need to call that thing something else, probably starting with and F---. Before we realized, it was sending us around the north side of Sebago Lake. We were going through towns I had never heard of before. Sandy asked me at one point where we were. I told her I had no F-----g idea, but we were making good time. We ended up going through North Conway heading south. Stopped for lunch at a nice barbeque place outside of Conway and finally got home around 3:00. All in all, the trip was mostly pleasant, although the dreaded F bomb had creeped back while on the road. I'm sorry, but there are some real ass h----s out there.

Well, that's it for this trip. Hoped you enjoyed it as much as we did. We'll be doing another blog in September, when we head to Europe for a two week car trip with our good friends and long time travel companions, John and Diane. Till then, adios.

Last day
I’m glad you waited until you left Canada to drop the F bomb. Wouldn’t want our Northern neighbors to think I’ll of us.
