route is dotted with lakes and many pullouts and interesting rock formations

passed a self-service organic farm stand offering many vegetables as well as firewood and rototillin

nowhere to eat in Cherryfield – Latinos store was empty and for rent

upon recommendation from customers and very friendly proprietor in General Store, we decided to get lunch at the grocery/deli

shortly after starting return trip, Sam’s back tire blew out – no spare – he was done

Jeff and I rode back to the car then retraced our route by car to pick up Sam
