Christmas Trip - Day 9

Slept until 0800 - had to spend awhile cleaning the snow off my truck... Tried to locate ski slopes at Mars Hill - it was closed, though. Drove south again and had breakfast in Houghton. Decided to go over to Canada - crossed at I-95. Trouble with guards ("Why is your car registered in Virginia while your license is from Florida? And you say you drove from Massachusetts?"). Used NB-95 to get to TCH-2. Drove to Hartland to see what was purported to be "World's Largest Covered Bridge." Returned to border by same route - gas in Millinocket, ME (1215). Drove back on I-95 to Augusta in heavy snow - made it clear near Brunswick. Took ME-196, US-201 and ME-24 in effort to find Bath - no luck. Back on I-95 again - then switched to I-295. Called Kristi with the new number and figured out where she lives - it was close. Found out she has a new baby, Nicholas. We caught up on some news about old friends and it was fun. Stayed from 1730-2200 - had dinner and watched TV. Back on the road - late, but no snow. I-295, I-95 towards MA. Almost ran out of gas - looked in Salisbury, Hampton and Seabrook (all closed). Finally saved in Amesbury, MA, at 2345. I-95, I-93, MA-3, US-6 to the Cape - home at 0130. Watched movies until 0300 - then bed.
