I’d consider Maine to be the northernmost outpost of the contiguous US with the hardiest frontiersmen and the bulk of the state’s population focused in the southernmost tip on along the coast. We drove straight north towards Canada through a no-man’s land of dense forests. The roads were still lined with thick snowdrifts and rivers were frozen over with the ice and snow growing thicker as we made our way north. The drive was challenging with pouring rain causing visibility so poor that wearing sunglasses allowed me to see twice as far ahead of the car at a whopping 20 feet. All along the way, Sara was teased by the Moose Crossing signs but those animals knew better than us and chose to stay under cover rather than travel in the terrible weather.

Gorgeous corner of the US with stunning landscapes and genuine, warm people who truly have to hibernate through the winter.
Great time in this small city and a successful completion of the lower 48 states for me! We consumed the city in an atypical way guided by the podcast, Crimetown, about all of the real-life Godfather characters who made their names there, and Family Guy, a semi-mindless cartoon TV show set in Quahog, RI, a fictitious town modelled after Providence.
Not the best fit for me, unfortunately. It's praised as a top city for millennials but it's too much for me. Three big grievances about this city which I admit other cities struggle with too but overwhelmed my impression of the city of brotherly love.
An easy living city that lives by the car but isn’t bogged down like Atlanta with many tasty food spots, microbreweries, neat cafes, and close by parks.
We're days away from hitting the road for day one of about 600 on the road. Plenty of posts to come with neat content and people. All of our content on planning the trip and travel tips are located on our McPatton Manual site.
