Maine 2022 (August)
Ellsworth and vicinity
Tuesday, August 9 through Tuesday, August 16, 2022
We flew from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Bangor, Maine via George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas, and Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey. We spent almost a week in Ellsworth, Maine at our new house. We returned to Oklahoma City via Newark and Houston (reverse of outbound route).
I tracked the trip with a Bad Elf GPS Pro+ GPSr (GPS receiver), using my iPhone 12 (Gaia GPS app) as a backup (FlightRadar24 website). A few local trips were not recorded (since in-town trips are regularly ignored where we live).
NOTE: the downloadable GPX tracks are the full GPX files, while those shown on the provided "view map" links are simplified (with minimal effect on geographic accuracy) for much faster viewing.
Original GPX tracks are unedited, except where necessary to fill in missing data. Edited tracks are noted in their descriptions.
