August 27, 2009. Day 39 Quebec to Presque Isle Maine



On August 27th, we left Quebec City for Presque Isle Maine. We drove NE on Canadian Route 20 along the St Lawrence River. We’ve said this before but what a beautiful drive it was. All of Canada has been really great to see. Being from the desert of NM we just can’t get enough of the “green”. We reentered the US at Madawaska Maine, the farthest northeast part of the United States. We stayed at The Arndt’s Aroostook River campground in Presque Isle, Maine. Wow, what an incredibly beautiful CG! The owner, Clare Arndt (with her husband Ken too), was so friendly taking the time to share their story of how they acquired the land and built the campground themselves 15 years earlier. She even took the time to show us the cabins she, her husband and son built. We wished we had more time to spend there. Maybe when we’re done with this trip we’ll go back and stay for the summer. It isn’t a place where we could live though. Not with the 110 inches of snow they get per year!!!
