Bangor Maine

Wednesday August 3 2016

      We traveled from Eastport, Maine Seaview Campground to Bangor Maine and stayed at Paul Bunyan campground. We went to our camp site and noticed that the voltage was not right and we could not us our RV air conditioner. So we got in our car and decided to head into town to start our reason for stopping here in Bangor. Well that is when we discovered that our car air conditioner was not cooling. We had just replaced the compressor a year ago and I was pretty sure this was the same problem again. It was 88 degrees and humidity was terrible and so we knew we should get started with our planned sightseeing adventure.

House and Gate

      The city of Bangor is best known for settings of Stephen King’s novels.  We took our car and went in search of Tripadvisor top 10 Stephen King sights.  Our friend Jason is a fan and as we visited these sights we held up a tablet with Jason’s picture and took a picture of him visiting these sights as well.

     The first sight we visited was the Cemetery where they have a lovely angel statue.

Then we drove past the water works but didn’t see any place to park.  We then found Stephen Kings house and as we were taking a picture of the wrought iron gates with the spiders snakes and gargoyles. We were passed by a runner on the sidewalk that I believe was the author himself. He said hi as he jogged past and I thought Hummmmm is that Mr King. We then drove past the radio station that is owned by the author but didn’t stop. We were getting very warm in the auto and decided to return to the RV.

When we returned to the RV park we stopped at the office and told her about the voltage issue and she allowed us to move to a sight that had better electrical connections and were able to start and run the RV air conditioner.
