Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

after visiting auntie m we stopped for the night in augusta, maine and headed out the following morning to finish the final leg of our trip ending in machias.

but about 60 miles from our final destination we couldn't pass up making a stop at a local favorite in ellsworth, maine - jordan's snack bar which is well known to have some of the best crab and clam rolls in the area.

unfortunately the coastal region is suffering from a recurring harmful algal bloom known as red tide which prevents the harvest of seafood and forces the already inflated summer tourist prices to go even higher.

and since i'm not willing to pay nearly ten dollars for a hotdog bun stuffed with seafood, we decided to opt for a much cheaper hotdog washed down with a chocolate shake.

after i ordered the food i remembered that for some reason the locals prefer their hotdogs pumped full of something that makes them a suspiciously bright red color.

oh well, we were so hungry that we ate them anyway, even as odin seemed to be looking at them with a wary eye.

That is a spectacular (as my grandmother would have said) puss Odin has on there. And these are my random thoughts for the day. Posted 37 months ago. ( permalink )

	jenpilot says: Welcome to Maine! You drove very close to the subject of many of my pictures (the airport)! I'm glad you made it safely. Nice yucky cold wet weather, huh? Except for a week or so, it's been like this since mid-April. I hope you've brought the good weather with you! Posted 37 months ago. ( permalink )

Funny he has a town with his name. i don't suppose you have a cat named machias? i know several people who might take the "disgusta" comment as a invitation to duel , but i haven't spent enough time there to form an opinion one way or another. HOOTDog: HOTDOG　丸ごと食べられるのかい　？ hmmm. i wish i was able to translate! i'm curious to know what the question was regarding the hotdog. maybe jusst wondering why we'd eat one :-) jenpilot: "Welcome to Maine!...Nice yucky cold wet weather, huh? Except for a week or so, it's been like this since mid-April. I hope you've brought the good weather with you!" thanks! apparently we didn't bring enough warm weather with us since it was warm(er) for about a day or two after we arrived and then back to cool and wet. a local asked ( imagine the thick accent ), "howd'ja like that summah we had theyah? i was a nice day now wusn't it."
