I'd always dreamed of getting to Lubec, Maine, the easternmost point in the United States. (And don't give me that crap about some remote Alaskan island being a few minutes -- or degrees or whatever -- over the meridian and technically being in the Eastern Hemisphere.) But it's about a five-hour drive from my uncle's near Wiscasset, where we'd always stay, so a day trip was out of the question. But with an extra day in Bar Harbor compared to last year, I decided we'd make the two-and-a-half-hour one-way jaunt up Route 1.
It was well worth it. Not only was it a gray day for the drive up and a rainy one for the drive back (which would have washed out any hiking/Acadia plans we might have had in clearer weather), but it was a chilly, blustery afternoon at Lubec, the kind of day for which beacons like this were needed.

But the Easternmost Point of the U.S. IS in Alaska, it's not crap! Lubec, though, most certainly is the Easternmost Point in the Continental U.S. . . . See ya at Pochnoi Point :)
