We started the day in Houlton, just a few miles west of New Brunswick, Canada. This was “decision day” for where go next. Go north? There’s not much new to see and campgrounds are very sparse up there. Go south? We just came from there. So, we’re heading southwest in hopes of seeing some of the fall foliage color change on the way home.
It rained most of last night. Skies are cloudy this morning with patches of sun. My Brother’s Place Campground was pretty empty last night. The end of camping season is showing up all over.
Nice grounds and no campers
We traveled 194 miles. The route: I-95S to Howland, ME-6 west to Lagrange, ME-16 west to Kingfield. The sky was overcast most of the day. After we left I-95, the roads were 2-lane, pretty rough and heavily traveled by timber trucks. The region felt remote and very isolated.
Towns and villages were very small along the route. Milo was one of the larger towns. We found a delightful place for lunch there. Elaine’s Café and Bakery offered a wide selection that included grilled cheese sandwiches on homemade bread, delicious chili, hand-cut fries and homemade onion rings. We had some of each and really enjoyed them.

We ended the day at Deer Farm Campground. It’s high in the hills and deep in the woods. The place is isolated and dated. We were one of only two resident campers.
