After we finally found the Thousand Islands visitor center, it was around 8pm, and all of the campsites on the main island were occupied so we decided that we would drive through the night and get to the state park in Maine, instead of trying to get a campsite here in Canada. It was about 6 hours away so after eating dinner we continued on our way. We crossed into the U.S. around 2 in the morning. We passed a moose that was headed to Canada in the opposite lane, while driving through New Hampshire. We got to Grafton Notch State Park in Maine around 4 in the morning, I think. We were planning on camping at the park but sometime the day before we found out that there was no campsites at this park, but we were pretty tired so Johnny and I got our sleeping bags out and slept at the picnic area and Sarah slept in the car for a couple hours. We went to the waterfalls that were a few miles down the road and I went for a swim in the freezing cold water. There wasn't too much else to see at this park, and our mom had told us that some of the worlds most photographed lighthouses were in Portland, Maine, so after lunch we headed down to Portland for the rest of the day.
We got to Portland and went to one of the most popular lighthouses in Maine, the Portland Head Light. We stayed for a couple hours taking some pictures and filming. We went to another light house that was close by but it was not nearly as photographic as the first one so after a bit we left for another campground about an hour away. After a good night sleep we were on our way to New York.
