Riding up the Coast

on Aug 03 in Motorcycle Trips

After the ride yesterday to Deer Isle, i wanted to travel back up the coast to Bucksport and stop a few places along the way, so i called Brenda, (a friend i ride with) and we were on our way by 10 am.  Brenda loves to ride, travel and explore new places.  Our first stop was in Nobleboro at Dunkin Donuts for coffee and bathroom break.  On our way again we passed through Rockland, and then Camden and the home of Peyton Place.  This is one of my favorite towns.  As we continued I pulled into Mt Battie state park. Brenda has never been there so i stopped at guard gate and we went up top of the mountain.  I have been there before and i love the spot.  In the movie Peyton Place, Alyson took Norman to her special place.  It over looked Camden Harbor.  It is a beautiful view. After Mt Battie i headed north again to Bucksport.  It is a great ride along the coast.  When we were entering the Bucksport area, i saw the new Bridge that had been built since last time i had been up here. I was told about and Observatory at the top of the bridge so we had to stop and check it out. It costs $5.00 to go up top and it was worth it.
