US 1 trip photos

Filed in Blog, On Snarfari

Here’s a photo roundup of the U.S. 1 trip.

With more than 1,000 pictures shot over nine days, it wasn’t easy whittling it down to 10 photos. I went only with shots I hadn’t posted previously.

I hope you enjoy.

The first shot is a monument for the discovery of ether in Boston.

The second is a memorial for the U.S.S. Maine in Bangor, Maine. It includes actual relics recovered from the doomed battleship.

The third is a monument for the Double Eagle II, the first successful transatlantic balloon fight, in Presque Isle, Maine.
