I crossed over the U.S. border into Minneasota. I watched two racoons cross the highway. I was a bit sad because i was travelling solo and could not share the moment of surprise with anyone. Well, i knew that with this trip and the many that would follow, i would be sharing my adventures with many a traveller or friends who were not able to get away on their own adventures.

Bemidji, Minnesota. I just had to stop off and see Paul Bunyan and his Blue Ox.

Mackinaw Bridge. I stopped to take a picture and found two U.S. dollars. The toll for the bridge was $1.75. Manna from heaven. 8o) Here is a youtube video of a truck passing over it.

Wheeling, West Virginia. Schenk Lake. A nice park very close to where my cousin lives. I made sure that i passed through Bridgeport, Ohio to visit my aunt and my two cousins. I always wondered what it would have been like to have grown up in this area.

Wheeling, West Virginia. Schenk Lake. My cousin Gary toured me around the area. He was to have his own adventure when i returned home visiting my area with his girlfriend.

Once I left my aunt and two cousins in Bridgeport, Ohio I drove off into totally fresh country where I have never been. Pennsylvania was a beautiful state to travel through with lots of rolling hills. New York was more forest with some hilly country as well. I travelled the two lane scenic highways as much as possible to enjoy the country drive. I came across this lake in MA and got out to take a picture. I could hear what I think was a bull frog nearby. Such a strange sound.

I stayed in these apartments overlooking the ocean. Very scenic and I loved every minute of the stay.

You could throw a fishing line right out the window into the ocean below. So very neat to see the ships coming in for this old prairie and mountain boy! Now, if I were only a sailor? But what would it be like here if a hurricane were to visit?

Rockport, MA Lots of shops to explore here. Nice atmosphere! See the teddy bears in the picture? (In the rocks, they blend in) I added a youtube video tour of the area.

Rockport, MA This is a very photographed building. Too bad that modern boat was tied up next to it.

Nahant, MA. Watching the sunset on another day. Sad to watch your vacation time slip away one day after another.
