Home from NORTHEAST!

PART 1
We're on our way home now. But don't be sad. We're gonna have so much fun in this 7-part photo shoot that we're gonna need plastic surgery to remove the smiles from our faces!
I'd guess this is ME 9 (Belfast Avenue) in Augusta, Maine, but nothing on Street View matches.
The Memorial Bridge over the Kennebec River in Augusta. This 1949 span has US 201, US 202, ME 11, and ME 100.
You can see the dome of the Maine State House - the state capitol, built in 1832. Unfortunately, I was 2 years too late to join Naomi Wolf's protest there.
Looking up the river, we see the Calumet Bridge at Old Fort Western. The bridge was built in 1973 and was once named for a clergyman, but his name was removed because of allegations against him that arose. The span carries Cony Street.
It's hard to see, but I think near the center here is the Rines Mill Bridge, which carries Water Street over an old railbed. It was slated for replacement.
ME 219 and the Androscoggin River.
ME 219 again.
North on ME 140 at ME 219 in Hartford.
ME 219 yet again!
ME 219 along Pleasant Pond.
US 2 near Bethel. My famous US 1 game sprouted an attempt at a US 2 game, and that's when I noticed US 2 has a break through Canada.
US 2 again.
US 2 enters New Hamster!
US 2 in Gorham.
A country club? They have that tyranny here? More importantly, you can see a bridge at left. That's a rail span over the Peabody River.
Another view of that rail bridge.
US 2 uses Main Street in Gorham.
An ancient DEAD END sign graces Madison Street.
US 2 bips away from Gorham. We wanted to see Mount Washington, but I'm pretty sure Mount Adams is at center here and Mount Jefferson is to the right of that.
This would be Mount Adams again.
US 2 continues with Mount Adams in the background.
Our friend Mount Adams drifts to the left of US 2.
US 2 again!
This structure is seen on US 2 in Jefferson.
