The Model A Ford Club of America (MAFCA .. http://www.mafca.com/) is sponsoring another national tour; this year it's along the Maine Coast from Kennebunkport to Bar Harbor from Sunday June 7 through Friday June 12, 2015. The Tour is hosted by the Maine Model A Ford Club (http://www.mainemodelafordclub.com/). My guess is that over 200 Model As and their drivers/passengers will be participating; some participants are from CA, TX, CO, SC, and surely from all over the northeast U.S. Ahooga!

Mapping the 1931 Route
Part of the fun of making this Lobsters and Lighthouses Tour is seeking out and finding some Model A era maps of the states we'll be driving through in less than three weeks. Our route will take us along state routes, no Interstates, and these highways have history as well as easy stops, plenty of eager roadside assistance, wayside surprises, and eateries. Below are several maps that Julie and I will keep up front as we drive along NYS route 7 from Bainbridge, NY which then morphs into VT route 9 and NH route 9. Through VT the route 9 is referred to as the "Molly Stark Highway" and in NH route 9 is the "Franklin Pierce Highway" (more on those names later). Such fun it is in many ways.
