Kenduskeag ride

Ready to plant - click

  My wife and I took a short ride the other day, just east into the next town, Kenduskeag.  The Town of about 1200 people is named for the stream that splits it in two.  It's a rural community made up of farms and acts as a bedroom community for the City of Bangor.  It's well known as the "starting point" of the Kenduskeag Canoe Race.
  We just rode up the road and turned right and took the photos on today's page, or my wife took the photos, I was along for the ride.
  The Town was in the news this week because of an alert employee of the Village Variety Store.  A man pulled in just as she was closing the store.  She saw it was an elderly man (79) who wanted gas for his car.  When she asked him to pull up to the pumps he pulled in on the "wrong side" and the hose wouldn't reach.  She asked him to move the car but he just played with the knobs on the dashboard and was confused.  She asked for his credit card and called Emergency Dispatch who sent a State Trooper to the store.  The man, for New Hampshire and 245 miles from home, has just left his house to check the mail and had no idea where he was.  Taken by ambulance to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor he was reunited with his family, who had reported him missing, on Sunday.
