Road... Dedicated to the memory of Jack Kerouac 1922 -1969

Hi everyone trust you are all fine.

 

Since my last post I have travelled down quite a few American and Canadian roads. Had a fine time, we were lucky with the weather and just about saw the peak colours of the fall in New Hampshire. Met lots of friendly people on both sides of the border and got home safe. I have a ton of photographs to work through when I get my garden sorted

 

This particularly bit of road was in Northern Maine near Jackman not to far from the Canadian border.

 

On the last full day of the holiday I paid my respects to the American writer Jack Kerouac who is buried at the Edson Cemetery in Lowell, Massachusetts. It was pleasing to see that the town of Lowell had celebrated Jacks life in a number of ways in the city. Certainly he is a not America’s finest writer but in On The Road he celebrated the sense of boundless freedom that was very influential in England in the sixties. Its not a bad thing to have written on your gravestone . “ He honoured life “
