Campsite under a light

This car moves as far as it can
to the right of its lane to allow
maximum space for safe
two way traffic on this
narrow road.

The rain gets heavier as we

Welcome Bienvenue
New Hampshire
Live Free or Die
New Hampshire honors its French heritage. "Live Free or Die" is a 1809 quote from Revolutionary War General John Stark, who led troops at the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Battle of Bennington.
Interstate 95 takes us north....
Piscataqua River Bridge
The Maine State Line is in
the Picataqua River.
Fun Fact: In 2000 New Hampshire took its Piscataqua River boundary dispute with Maine to the US Supreme Court. Depending on where the border is drawn, Seavey Island, the site of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is in Maine, or it's in New Hampshire. The Supreme Court ruled that New Hampshire's claim that the shared state border is on the north side of the river is invalid because it changes the previous 1977 ruling on the state line. Seavey Island, and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, remains in Maine.

Maine Turnpike

a Walmart & a Sam's Club.
lists both stores as
allowing overnight parking.
As we drive through the Walmart parking lot, Eric and I decide that the lot is too crowded for our 40 foot motorhome and Jeep.
A driveway takes us to Sam's Club,
which is experiencing a lull
in shoppers.
We are parked in an adjacent,
overflow parking lot.
This is a great choice for our overnight parking spot. It's almost dead level and this parking lot is quiet.
After reporting to the Member Services Desk Staff that Eric and I are parked well away from the store, it's time for a late lunch.
After shopping at Walmart,
Eric returned to the
motorhome & found a
Seagull on top of our
Fantastic Fan Cover.
