Bath, Maine

From Augusta, swooped south through Hallowell and Farmingdale. Jumped over the Kennebec in Gardiner to Randolph and headed south on Route 27 also known as the Wiscasset Road. Sky started getting black very fast so stopped at Meeting House Market just as I crossed into Dresden.  Pulled up onto a covered patio and sat at a covered picnic table. (Okay, I went in and got a cookie and soda.)  

  

The sky didn't open up but a steady rain began so I hung out there for about a half hour. Put on full rain gear and took off looking for either Route 127 or 128.  I found 128 first and began following Merrymeeting Bay towards Bath.  It was a great ride on a relatively new road with good twisties and the occasional view of the Bay.  The rain was over and everything began drying off and the roadway steamed. (Took 127 on return trip which was also good but not quite as interesting or band-new smooth as 128.)

Eventually bumped into Route 127 then US Route 1 and took the big bridge over to Bath.

I caught a glimpse of the new Navy destroyer BIW is building in the Kennebec.  It's so stealthy and doesn't even look like a war ship.

Made my destination on the New Meadows River in West Bath.
