good morning guys so far I am pleasantly surprised and happy with Maine's weather
here this is uh this is what I wanted so bad looked forward to this the entire
Lincoln Highway so this is this is pretty cool what a nice day
just a random marker here or is it random this is the birthplace of captain
Hansen Gregory who first invented the hole in the doughnut in the year 1847
erected here because this is his birthplace
apparently he enjoyed eating blobs and blobs of fried dough while out at sea
hard job being a sea captain so what he decided to do was for easy access to
those doughy treats was he impaled those blobs of dough on the handles the spikes
of the steering wheel of the ship and thus it was you know you could just pull
it out and it had a hole in the middle that's how the actual donut came to be
what it is today with that hole that's why that hole exists was because of
captain Hansen Gregory which is pretty good that's how the standard donut as we
know it today came to be because of that captain's novel idea kind of sounds like
something Homer Simpson would actually do now it makes sense why Homer the lazy
nuclear power plant guy loves donut so much and actually I love donuts too will
us some coffee later ok I'm not a Krispy Kremes fan yes actually my donut place
has always been Dunkin Donuts and they're all over the country a lot more
of these than there are Krispy Kremes right now and my favorite donut of
choice does anybody know what my favorite donut is think Homer pink
colored strawberry frosted sprinkled doughnuts that's my go-to mmm it's you
wouldn't like it it's it's delicious ok what you wants meal you can Smeal no
don't like it Oh Catholic
what did you find this time Jax oh you found the ocean yeah here and I think
I'm the city of Rockport Maine now I believe and we have some oceanfront
property here that you'd be careful there's no edge there Jax he's like oh
you're right dad you don't see this too often there's about a mmm 20 foot drop
with well no fence so don't do it Jax it's not worth it you want to go for a
boat ride Jax maybe we should trade the RV in for a boat what no I'm just
thinking out loud man if I were to blow the train horn right now would that make
you mad poor Kai so yeah what a neat little coastal community town I want to
look around a little bit you and your picnic tables man you're right
ain't wrong but you know what do you smell that a dirty dog pee right there
this is the Rockport lime kills this structure that they have fenced off and
preserved particulars pretty cool little diagram here talking about the railroad
brought limestone calcium carbonate from local quarries which was dumped into the
top of the kilns to form a charge yeah Jax this was a boomin thing in 1859
actually it is quite preserved there's another date up there that says 1984 I
don't know why they would maybe they preserved it or something
ooh a Vulcan steam locomotive it's actually quite small it was brought here
in 1982 to Rockport size isn't everything guys just got to get the job
done I think this is another kiln lime kiln they got a bunch of them
interesting huh Andre the seal and he's just chillin
there on a rock smiling mm-hmm I have to say there Andre you've got quite a view
quite a view out there buddy there's a little plaque here that says Andre was
born on Robinson's Rock in pen bossed Bay on May 16th 1961 abandoned at Birth
he was found befriended raised and trained by Harry Coolidge of Rockport
Maine Andre is honorary harbor master of Rockport Harbor and as a celebrity of
more than local renown his antics have delighted people far and wide Andre is
the harbor seal only species that occurs regularly in New England waters I
compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray oh the more I get a few strangers
busy yeah we're pretty lucky to have such beauty here in this country
well Harbor here you guys want to see this place from my drones perspective
let's drone the Atlantic Ocean here
it's official guys I have come to the nuthouse this is Floyd the pink dinosaur
or as I'm gonna call Pink Floyd and I think is it triceratops yeah I
think that's what he is okay cool okay and this is nutsy the
squirrel who has missing a nose poor guy must have been a really bad winter they
need to repair old nuts see they're all right guys I'm gonna check into the nut
house now he knew it was coming more magnets of course you killin me smalls
at least they have their own magnet Perry's nuthouse Belfast Maine that's
cool and here's an albatross the largest wingspan of the entire bird kingdom
though only 9 inches wide its wings measured more than 11 feet from tip to
tip
and wasn't I just saying I need to cool it on the magnets no I'll remember this
magnet as having to do with Pink Floyd how about this work of art over here
that's the pent-up Scot Narrows Bridge with what appears to be an observatory
up top might be a way up there I'm actually
gonna go find that out but a such a great day with no wind let's get some
aerial drone shots of this see what we can come up with
power boat out there we're standing underneath the Narrows Bridge now and
they don't accommodate to our B it's very well kind of tough to maneuver they
don't provide any parking I had to think up four spots but she said it was okay
but yeah this is the one that we can go up into I guess there's the elevator so
we're going all the way up to the top right and there's the sign hi
all right so the only way back down
elevator all to myself
we're going up like I said 42 stories for 420 feet to the first deck and
they're against three decks of the observatory up there and she said it
takes 50 seconds to get from the bottom all the way to the top of the
observatory also this is the only bridge of servitor II in this country there are
three others in Thailand Japan and Singapore
no other Observatory Bridge lookouts this will be fun this is worth it now
there we go hey there cow so we've got to climb a
few more stairs
cow didn't see my army down there take it up three more spots
look at these views some amazing I'll walk you guys around
should we look down yeah we should look down that water out there
em Scott River
okay this is the the rest of the bridge the other Tower on the other side over
there and the cars drivin why don't they can see us up here no they can't see us
because when I was parked over there I couldn't see through these one of those
pretty cool I just think it's fun to look down I got to find a spot to
boondock we have to got to find a spot to spend the night so that's my mission
around here also got to find a Starbucks coffee shop somewhere to check in with
the world you guys I've been quiet well I've been quiet because I don't have
internet oh how much is that Kitty in the window huh how much is that kitty
are you doing you had done driving riding I mean I've been doing all the
driving yeah okay I think we can live right here this is going to be my
stealth camping spot here we're just inside Ellsworth Maine I think and I'm
in a commercial area with two businesses both are already closed for the evening
and so I don't know who owns maybe they share the lot or something but I do
think it's gonna work for one night of parking you know parking can be tricky
and the cool part is I have a view of the river
didn't that pretty yeah I'll be out first thing in the morning before these
mrs. businesses even open you know you got to improvise when when parking is
tough it's tricky because in the summertime well the Sun sets so much
later that you can't just sneak in at 5:00 p.m. when it's already dark and
stealth camping places cuz you're gonna be I'm gonna be seen until like 9 or 10
p.m. here no I'm stealthy what are you talking about I blend right in
