June 27, 200916 yr So, Thursday and Friday my wife and I along with a bunch of friends, went to Northern Maine. We traveled about 3 1/2 hours north from our place to a little town called Jackman. We camped out in tents and got very wet!! We had some very impressive thunder storms, some of the biggest I've seen in a long time. Unfortunately we all got very wet and so did our bedding and clothes. There was some good points though! I was the only one with a Subaru, and I took my 89 GL. I did a little off roading but not a lot, and unfortunately I didn't get any pics of that. We did a fair amount of fishing and caught a lot of Brook Trout and I caught a couple Salmon as well, all on a fly rod. We also saw a few Moose. Here are some pics!! This is one of the campsite, with some friends. It was nice to have help watching our daughter!! We did a lot of driving in very remote areas, so I decided I better bring a gas can This one is at a boat landing on Moosehead Lake This one is at a rest area look out on route 201, very nice view!! You can see the fishing gear strapped to the racks:grin: Over all the trip was good, but we did head home a little early do to being wet, and having my 13 month old daughter with us. We put over 500 miles on, and the car did very good!! I would love to have an EJ22 for the hills, but the EA81 did just fine most of the time. The only problems were a blown headlight bulb, and I have to replace a front hub. Edited June 27, 200916 yr by bratman18
June 28, 200916 yr Cool trip, wish we lived closer,would be great to go cruisn.. nice car:) SEDANS ROCK!!
June 28, 200916 yr Nice- One of these days I'm going to have to visit back out that way. My wife's never been there, and I know it's changed a lot since i lived there. I do have fond memories of being at that boat ramp the weekend of my 10th birthday, though, and also being drenched at the Boyscout jamboree at Brunswick NAS two years later. My air mattress floated-

June 28, 200916 yr Author Yeah I love the sedan!! I wanted one for a long time. I do wish it had more room, but that's ok, it looks awesome!!
