"In our definitions, we grope after the spiritual by describing it as invisible. The true meaning of spiritual is real; that law which executes itself, which works without means, and which cannot be conceived as not existing." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Day 3 - Thursday

Break camp at Lake Erie, empty everything from car onto picnic table and re-organize, re-pack the car. Much more efficient. I know where everything is and can now find it when needed, including canvases and framed paintings. I do not have the cargo storage on top of the Kia as during the California trip in May & June, so this makes getting at things much easier. 


Hit the road and prepare myself for another eight and a half hour day of driving.  Will try to get to spitting distance to Kennebunk so as to arrive Saturday noonish. Looks like Gloucester, Mass, puts me there and I can paint all day on Friday. I will spend the holiday weekend with Jeff & Leigh, day trip from their place Monday and Tuesday, and participate in a Paint Out in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, on Wednesday. It is from Boothbay that I will catch the ferry to Monhegan Island on Friday. On the way, hope to get to Portland Head, the first and arguably most beautiful lighthouse in the States; it was ordered by George Washington in the late 1700's.

I land at a truck stop an hour this side of Gloucester and sleep for six hours. I am ready to paint.
