Maine and New Hampshire

Monday afternoon (14 August) I headed north on I-95/US 1 to Port Clyde, Maine, one of those towns on the ends of peninsulas on what they call the midcoast. The destination was the home of Paul Dalyrimple, who spent 2 winters in a row on the ice, in 1957 at LAV, and the following year at Pole. More recently he is the editor of the Antarctican Society newsletter. Here is the Marshall Point Lighthouse, which is jost down the road from Paul's neat house.

Here's a view of Paul's house that I took as I left...unfortunately I never pulled my camera out while Paul was around..

Here's a view of the sea, looking east from the dining room table.
reading matter
Some of the books piled up in the front study. I could have stayed here for weeks reading everything.
 banner day
Over the fireplace is this artifact from the second Byrd expedition...the letters stand for "mutual admiration society."
The stay here included a dinner with Bob and Marie Hurtig--I worked with Bob at Pole in the late 1980s.
Center of Conway
On Wednesday I headed northwest to Conway, NH where I met up with Al Oxton, who was in the midst of repairing his home.

We had lunch and did a brief bit of geocaching before I headed back down to Rhode Island.
