Picnicking on the Canadian side to consume tomatoes, avocados and apples before clearing customs into the US. What we couldn't eat did indeed get confiscated, at least in Speedy. Our agent didn't seem comfortable enough to climb in with Nina. Way to go Nina!

It was a trip down memory lane returning to the Cobscook Bay area after about 44 years. The field station where I stayed is still there now owned by Suffolk University but sadly locked tight.

Passing through Washington County, the endless blueberry fields were in the process of being harvested in time for the Machias Wild Blueberry Festival held the 3rd weekend in August. One more festival we will miss but there were countless stands for buying blueberries. The ones we stopped at looked to be maintained by Wyman's perhaps to satisfy those of us who would otherwise be tempted to pick.
