First Day...Huge Success!!

We are having a blast! Spent a few hours in Portsmouth, NH which is such a great place. Although it was clearly built long before the invention of the RV! Jerry did great driving through the narrow streets and we found a boat launch where they let us park for free for a dew hours.

Had a little trouble getting out though! Our GPS took us to an intersection (a very narrow one) where left was a one way (the wrong way) and right took us to I-95....but only by driving under a bridge with clearance of 11 feet 10 inches. The RV is 13 feet high....oh no!!!!! We had to hold up traffic and thankfully were able to back into the entrance of a park and turn around!! Good thing we were paying attention to the signs!!

Still trying to get out, we turn around and pinch I-95 into the GPS again. And follow directions to a bridge on Route 1 that takes us to ME. But....wait for it....the weight limit on the old draw bridge is 3 tons. And the RV is 5 tons!! Here we go again!! Thankfully they had a last minute escape plan!!

Anyway, we finally wound our way through and found I-95 and are now headed to Freeport where we will spend the night (after a little trip into LL Bean of course!) Open 24 hours, 7 days a week!!!

We lucked out and didn't hit one bit of traffic all day! On July 4th weekend!! Not getting out of Wallingford until 1:30 or so helped.

So I'm signing off for the night. Will update again in Bar Harbor!!
