am dead tired and the eye lids are getting heavy so I go into Portland Maine and drive around looking for a parking lot to pull into and sleep awhile.\u00a0 I wound up in the downtown core area.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>I must say that Portland Maine is a BEAUTIFUL town.\u00a0 It has several lakes or waterways right in the dowotwn area with walking and bike paths around them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a

src=\"http:\/\/www.griffy-sherlock.com\/homepage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/wpid-0702151055.jpg\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p> Anyway I get turned around and cant find a place to pull over so I dedcided to go ahead and head down the road and pull over at the first rest stop.\u00a0 About 2 miles south of Portland ME I run into a toll booth.\u00a0 I give the lady at the booth the money and she gives me change.\u00a0 Then she preceeds to start in discussing the RV and asking questions about where I got it and how much and it looks like fun and this goes on for 2 or 3 mintues.\u00a0 All the while I now have 15 cars behind me.\u00a0 So finally I say well I probably ott to head down the road.\u00a0\u00a0 I think she would have kept talking for a while longer.<\/p>\n<p>So another 20 miles down the road I pull into the rest stop and grab 3 hours of sleep, get cleaned up and its an hour and a half to Midges.\u00a0 I roll in about 5:30 pm.\u00a0 Midge Shaughnessy is a long time family friend of the Sherlock Clan.\u00a0\u00a0<i><b><\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Midge had gotten 2 tickets to go see\u00a0 Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys in concert in Boston.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 We went to the concert and left just a little early to go pick up Ben atg the airport around 10:30 pm.\u00a0 I tworked out perfectly and the concert was GREAT!!!!<\/p>\n<p>We got back and sat around talking then hit the ay in prep for a big day tomorrow.\u00a0 The gangs all here.\u00a0 Let the games begin&#8230;<br \/>\n<a
