On today's plate was Route 4, looking for Ash trees to hang our Emerald Ash Borer traps in. Rt 4 goes out west toward the New Hampshire border. We took it as far as Rangely Lake in Maine.
On South Shore Drive in the Rangely Plantation township there's a telephone pole that people have nailed all kinds of old shoes to. I had to turn the truck around to check it out. The shoes cover this telephone pole almost ten feet up, and there's even a hammer tied onto the pole so that shoes can be added. I don't know how this started or what the significance of the shoes is, but this is just another example of how funny Mainers can be.
We ate lunch at a rest stop at Smalls Falls in Madrid. You can't tell from where we were eating, but there are pools up there that people jump into from super tall cliffs.
