Stop 20, Lubec Maine

Lubec, Maine is the easternmost city in the contiguous United States.  Just across the FDR bridge is Camobello Island, Canada.  About 1000 Canadians live there.  It's only road connection is to Lubec, so it's kinda weird that there is the full border and custom facility here, but there is.  On Monday, well drive over to the island and camp for two nights in a provincial park on the island.

Another rainy day.  And a long rainy night.  After our short visit to Lubec, we came back to camp as the rain steadily intensified. We sat in our Clam shelter for a couple of hours, but the temperature dropped and we were in for hours of rain so we called it a night at about 630.  The rain eased up about 3AM and seems to have moved through.
Not much happening in the way of tourism n this part of the state.  Frances remarked at the magnitude of the change from Bar Harbor.
Today we may try and get out on the East Coast Greenway for a bit.  By tomorrow, we may be able to get the bikes out. Still pretty wet and chilly today.
