In Fort Kent, this signs indicates the northern terminus of Route 1. |
This road runs near the border near the northernmost point of Maine. This portion of the road is in Quebec. |
There was an old drive-in theater off the side of the road. |
Close look at the projection booth (and snack bar?) |
Much of the screen remains. |
The border area. |
This is the first of MANY Canadian - USA border markers I will see on the trip! |
This is the area where the northern most point of Maine resides. |
This allows for a height reference of the marker. |
A closer look reveals the text and treaty referenced. |
The other two panels of the marker. |
Looking somewhat to the east, Canada is left, and the U. S. is to the right. A line following the border was also painted on the road. |
Heading south along Route 1, I found a sign that led me to the launching site of the first successful transatlantic balloon crossing. |
This stone indicates the name of the park, in honor of one of the crewmembers. |
This walkway leads to the point of departure. |
A plaque at the site. |
A plaque honoring the three men that crossed the Atlantic. |
A close up of the center of the monument. |
The monument from the back. |
A wonderful view along route 1 in eastern Maine. |
In Eastport, looking out from the balcony of my motel room. |
