After spending the night in the tiny houses at the Sunset Motel, I made my way towards Bucksport Maine with an eye towards taking it easy and exploring the area….and that’s just how it played out. I mostly walked the 10 miles to Bucksport, and arrived at about 3:30pm after a late start and a couple stops along the way. When I checked into the Bucksport Motor Inn I learned that the beautiful new (2007) suspension bridge’s observation tower closes at 5:00 so i got changed, threw my extra stuff in the room and hit the road again to try and get to the bridge (and historic Fort Knox) before they closed. After visiting the bridge I walked another 2 miles back to downtown Bucksport and stumbled across a hometown ice cream shop, Whal’s Dairy Port…and had to stop and have some. Then, as I was walking the downtown area I noticed an old movie theater (The Alamo), as was just I time to see the last showing of the night of Inside Out….What a day! Bucksport is a great old fashioned town. PICS ATTACHED
