Shelburne, NH

Today we are in "Timberland camping Area" in Shelburne,NH. The trip from Bar Harbor, ME was 200 miles. The construction detour in Bangor was poorly marked and confusing but we finally got through it. Much of route 2 was under construction with 1/2 mile sections of pavement being rebuilt.
We arrived in "Timberland" about 3:30 pm. We are in a pull thru and are here two nights. Today we expect to tour the "White Mountains" and will have pictures.

June 7 Sunday

Today we finished up the Oil Pan job. The problem was an exhaust gasket. We are now back to normal! What we thought was an oil seal turned out to be a leak at the oil pan under the front seal. The job was messy but now is complete.
Has been years since I have worked under a car, I don't miss it.
While here we also have readjusted the "Stuff" we Cary.

Planning is now to travel to Maine on Sunday the 14th of June. We are going to the Bar Harbor area. Hope to spend a week then head West to NH and VT.
Till later!
