Ohio-New York and the New England states

After two more days and 18 hours and 960 mi (1544 km) driving 

we finally made it to our last stop before home.

65' (20 m) Camper combination

After Mansfield OH we stayed in another Walmart near Oneida, NY for the night into Wednesday 

vineyards around Erie, OH

and started very early on Wednesday morning. 

Lake Erie on the horizon

The weather stayed nice and dry, the wind light. 

early morning view of road through Canastota, NY

crossing high over the Hudson River 214 feet (65 m,) I did not look down

First we decided to just go until we reached Maine. 

Bridge over the Pisccataqua River, entering Maine

part of Portland, ME

Gardiner Service Plaza was the place we wanted to stay for the night. 

no warm desert climate anymore, snow along the I-95 in Maine

But when we got there it was only another 2 hours up to Bangor and Peter felt that 

he could do these last miles as well. 

That way it would only be 3 more hours to home on Thursday.

At 5pm after a long day on the road we reached Dysart's Truck Stop 

just south of Bangor ME.

Approaching a very busy Dysart's Truck Stop in Bangor, ME

  It was packed but we found a spot to squeeze in for the night. 

Last Truck Stop night before home

Tomorrow we will be home!

Now I just want to sleep.

Zzzzz

Der Marathon is bald zu Ende. Nach zwei Tagen, 18 Stunden und 1544 km sind wir nun an unserem letzten Rastplatz angekommen. Morgen sind es nur noch 3 Stunden bis nach Hause. 

Wir fuhren von Ohio durch die Staaten New Your, Massachusetts, New Hampshire nach Maine. Dort wollten wir eigentlich auf einer Service Station übernachten. Aber dann waren es nur noch 2 weitere Stunden Fahrt bis Bangor und JP fühlte sich noch frisch genug um auch diese Kilometer noch hinter sich zu bringen. Nun stehen wir auf Dysarts Truck Stop und sind reif für die Flohkiste. Morgen werden wir endlich wieder zuhause sein.
