Today we left Campobello Island, going through Customs without any problem. The first part of the trip was coastal drive on Route 1 and then we began to cut across the state on Route 3 to connect with I-95. Our first "disaster" came about 15 miles before the interstate, when just a few minutes ahead of us there was an accident involving a motorcycle and a pickup truck. We were able to get by on the shoulder of the road but saw the motorcyclist lying on the ground face down just under the truck....not a pretty scene and neither of us can get the image out of our heads. We are praying for everyone involved.
Our next "disaster" was having one of the rear inside tires on the RV blow while we were on I-95 just outside of Augusta, Maine. Jim crawled down the road at less than 20 mph hugging the shoulder for about 5 miles to the nearest "exit", a Service Center. I called roadside assistance but they can't get someone here with a tire and truck until tomorrow, so we will hang out at the service center overnight.
We are at West Gardiner Service Plaza off I-95.
