Gray, ME 2006-11-19

This is simply an abridged form of my Gray photo page. I didn't even bother changing the text.

Thumbnails open the snaps in a new window. Close to return here.

	Entering the village, ME-26A gets ready to join ME-26 proper. Poland Spring Bottling, to the north on ME-26, is still routed through the village rather than via the new bypass. This is the last reassurance marker on southbound 26A.
	Confused yet?
	Looking west outta town. That sine salad would taste even better with a NORTH 26A shield. From here, the snaps are arranged going roughly clockwise around the village center.
	Okay, here goes. The southern junction in town. The turning lane in the foreround carries US-202 west and ME-4 south. The SUV at the right appears to want to continue on ME-115 east. Receding into the background are ME-26 and ME-100. The cars on the left are stopped on ME-115 west. The lanes going from the center to the lower left are a short (~.04 mi) quadruplex of 202/4/26/100.
	Shaker Rd: ME-26 south arrives at the li'l quadruplex.
	A shot of ME-26 heading north out of the li'l quadruplex, with the levels heavily doctored.
	Same sign, different angle, cheap website!
	Panning right - Is this J. Random Soldier, or Joshua Chamberlain?
	A gas station on every corner. ...And no shortage of corners.
	Pulling back to reveal the scene: 202/4/100 occupies the foreground while 26 north leaves town to the left.
	Looking southwest on Main St at the start of the li'l quarduplex. I'm disappointed in MDOT - they could have made this a little more confusing. How about directing eastbound ME-115 traffic to the left along Brown St?
	Brown St provides a connection between ME-26 to the north and ME-115 to the east.
	Signage at the end of Brown St, facing Main St.
	Main St & Brown St - This is not the Lincoln Highway! These were on about every utility pole in town.
	Main St: Facing the northern intersection, at the northern end of the li'l quadruplex. Use the Free Public Parking after hours, and it's trespassing and disorderly conduct, as below...
	If you park here, you are a Bad Person™. So just park across the street, stand on your car and take a swell shot of the intersection, m'kay?
	Looking northish. Yarmouth Road carries ME-115 east to... guess where. Portland Road carries ME-26/110 south to... guess where. Dig that "Lincoln Highway" flag holder.
	ME-115 east leaving town.
	The village's southern junction as seen from ME-115 west.
	...and from ME-26/100 north.
	The view out of town along ME-26/100 south.
	Back where we started, at the southern intersection.
