Four Corners on the Edge

The four corners of my Edge journey (as close as I got, at least).

Southwest US Corner: I-5, San Diego

Southeast US Corner: US1, Key West

Northeast US corner: US1 x I-95, Houlton, Maine

Northwest US Corner: US101, Forks, WA

Good morning! I'm in Bangor, Maine, only 28 miles from where I spent the night before if I had driven on the other US1. [Why does Maine have so many US1s? It's VERY confusing].
No, I went an extra 395 miles via Mt Desert Isle, Calais, and Houlton.

Yesterday morning, not very far from my departure point of Ellsworth, I got out of the car and took a lovely woodland walk at Ship Harbor in the Acadia National Park.

(Note to self: get out of the car more often).

As I continued along the Eastern edge, it was interesting watching the scenery transition from coastal tourist/vacationer roadside business to hard-scrabble farming communities. When I reached the Canadian border at Calais, I felt like I was beyond the beyond.

I even got re-welcomed to the state.

In all my excitement of nearing the Northeast corner of the US perimeter, I posted this to my fashion blog instead of here:

Oops! Must pay more attention when creating posts on the phone.

Here's where US1 and 95 meet in Houlton, the NE corner:

where I missed the turn

After I have some breakfast, I'll be ready to hit the road again. 

Tonight, I'll be in Burlington, VT.
