They were out from the moment the sun was above the horizon and stayed around til past 9 pm on Saturday. It rained hard overnight and into Sunday morning, that kept them down somewhat on Sunday, only a couple hundred or so swarming around instead of thousands, digging in fresh wet earth seems to spurr them into a frenzy.

Not sure exactly but it's from Hertz and will be similar to the Mo-ron-oh we took to New Foundland....

Nice road trip, longer the better. My longest was 16, 830 KM round trip. Like to do another before checking out.

Update.....the Rogue is not the Mo-Ron-Oh......is slightly smaller with a four banger....it'll go if you whoop it hard nuff but you really have to work it ovah!! On the plus side was getting 32 MPG+ @ 80+MPH. Man....holiday traffic was brutal coming down from Portland to NH on the Maine Turnpike.....3 lanes bumper to bumper going 80MPH with the usual 5% trying to get ahead everyone else by frantically changing lanes....to no avail. At the toll booth there were 6 lanes open but after paying tolls had to jamb back into 3 lanes again with no white lines.......What a cluster XXXX that was and to make matter worse a road tractor backended a coach type RV...minor damage but greatly added to the general chaos....I knew this scene would not get any better the further we continued so we bailed in NH and drove out through NH, VT down into Mass then into NY......drove in every New England state yester day except Conn and RI...5 states in all....10hrs on the road...finishing up breakfast then over to see Bob (spike60) for a few mins while we're here, then ...Off we go again!!!

Thanks for the update Robin, safe happy travels.

Be ready to be stopped with those Mass plates! When I lived out in Ohio before I got Ohio plates would get stopped every trip. After changing plates never! In fact one winter when it was -30 car froze up and a Penn Statey towed my car to bldg to thaw out. Never knew I was a Mass boy or it would never had happened. Accent had changed some by then! lol
