May 17 Brunswick to Bridgton

 The start of the ride began with a very short tour of the town of Brunswick.  It is the home to Bowdoin College, which is a very good liberal arts school.  Our teammate, Bonnie Powell spent a few weeks staying at one of the houses at Bowdoin while she was training to become an Apogee tour guide (bike touring).  So we stopped at the Quad and at the house she stayed at and snapped a few pics.  I'll add pictures tomorrow, maybe??

 

                                              
This is where we had our lunch (below pic).  The golf course is literally in the middle of nowhere... in a sparsely populated area of Maine.  We were getting hungry at the time and low on water, so looking for a stop.  After peaking yet another hill, we cam across this beautiful golf course called Fox Ridge.  I never in a million years would have guessed a golf course would show up in this area.  The video above is maybe 1/4 mile away from the golf course.  

The manager was very proud of the #5 best golf course in Maine rating and showed me all the evidence he had in various newspaper articles.  We ordered a hearty lunch, which included a cheeseburger, philly cheesesteak sandwich and a ceasar salad with chicken.  The girl cooking our lunch splashed grease into her eye trying to flip the cheeseburger.  And then proceeded to forget the philly steak sandwich (understandably).  I felt super bad having to ask her to please cook the missed sandwich.
