Hey Cranky and Gyro. Please don't stop or stand still too long in the cemetary. The buzzards might think you to be food.

Oh, my. That photo could be from just about anywhere in Oregon. Most of us here have learned to selectively not see the land scars, but they are ever-present once you leave the main highways.

The one thing this points out is there are lots of nice places to ride.

Bar Harbor.

Here are a couple of photos that were taken atop Cadillac Mountain, in Acadia National Park, last year. I rode the park loop road, then the up to the top of the mountain for these photos, and my wife then meet me at the bottom, for a ride back to Bar Harbor (love the Thirsty Whale). There was just enough light for me to ride down (45+ mph) the mountain. What a glorious late October evening.



I was told that this was the Queen Mary 2 Ship.

Grea pics, FH! I was there about a month ahead of you. Don't know if your ship was the QMII. A lot of b-i-i-i-i-g cruise ships come in there.
