Maine coast in November
Beautiful day yesterday, Jerry and I headed down to Route 1 to do a little exploring. Stayed on the pavement cause of hunting season.
1st stop Lamoine: Lobster traps being pulled out  cool buggy at Lamoine state beach     Then to Marlboro beach    hmmm, looks tempting to ride over there!  why not?     yep, that was fun!  cute house that we rode by  not sure where this is, but pretty!  then on to Sorrento: my bike enjoying the view       getting to be halfway through the day at this point so plotted a route home- only have one pic 'cause of no places to pull over, but very pretty, fun twisty roads up route 200 and 179 past hills and blueberry fields and lakes  then flew down the airline (rt 9). Stopped at the eagles nest since we had been too busy having fun to have lunch view from the eagles nest (Penobscot river)  and yummy lobster roll  then headed home, arriving just as the sun was going down over the horizon! fun day, but way too short- missing the longer summer days!

Schoodic is indeed an AWESOME site to visit... havne't been through on a bike yet, just the pedal variety. used to do the loop on mountainbikes when i was in highschool.. 12 miles, take us about 3 hours or so (including stops for scenery/etc)... it's REALLY awesome when there is a storm coming in, the waves are BREATHTAKING. -Nate

Very nice pictures of the water.
If you like fried clams, ride to this place in Brooksville some summer day....

Is this normal weather for the coast of Maine in mid-November? I would expect rain mixed with snow and howling winds out of the NE.
