I have never cooked with my camp stove inside a hotel room until last night. I did some quick calculations on my remaining food and was able to have two ramen noodles and two tuna packages for dinner. It filled me up and put me to sleep like a baby.

I woke up ready to cycle today because I was excited to see New Hampshire and cross into Maine once on the coastline. I had the required energy thanks to the ramen and tuna I devoured for dinner.

New Hampshire is an absolute gem. I was amazed at the small towns and all the wooded areas I rode through today. I would love to ride more in this state.

I just kept shaking my head in disbelief at all the beauty and peacefulness I found this morning. I became even more excited as I made my way to the coast knowing that I was in for a treat.

The coastline of New Hampshire did not disappoint in the slightest. I loved the rocky beaches and the smells of the ocean as I rolled north. I only had a few miles to enjoy the New Hampshire coastline until I crossed the bridge into Maine.

Maine is the last state of this adventure and coming into the last state is always exciting. There is something special to know I have made it this far, but I also know there is so much more to see and enjoy still.

I have had one goal in mind for Maine. Lobster. I made sure to stop at Lobster Cove for breakfast in hopes they would have lobster on the breakfast menu. Of course they had lobster on the breakfast menu, silly. How about Lobster Benedict? Sure, why not? Officially the best breakfast of this adventure was eaten this morning. It edged out the alligator tail and grits by a nose or shall I say a claw tip?

The first beach goers today I saw were hardcore setting up on rocks that reminded me of the river rocks out west. A little later down the road the large crowds were truly found on the small sandy beach stretches.

I arrived near my destination a little too early to check in at the campsite so I made a small trip down to the Nubble Lighthouse. The volunteer that took my picture told me that this lighthouse is the most photographed lighthouse in the world. Yes, the world. He explained to me that when Voyager was launched into space in 1977 with the Voyager Golden Record, an image of this lighthouse was included. Impressive.

I soon made my way for an ice cream before heading down to our campsite. The nice lady that I had spoke with last night was in the office and let me pick out the site I wanted. During our conversation last night, she found out about our adventure and made sure she reserved us a spot immediately. Otherwise, I was going to have to call back later in the evening to check availability. A trail angel for sure she turned out to be.

We are now in the York Days week long celebration, which also happens to align with a Canadian holiday. These two facts mean that it is hard to find any open spots in hotels, motels or campsites. She really has treated us too kindly.

The tent is set up and now it is time for a shower. I am just as excited about tomorrow as I was about today.
