Not the Maine Event

I was afraid of this happening to us and it eventually did.  We are down to the end needing just 9 more states.  It's my wife's birthday.  We have a babysitter at the house, and we are on our way to HuHot.  We come across a Maine license plate parked downtown College Avenue.  No!!!!  We go ahead and eat and plan to leave a note on their windshield (not exactly sure how I would have worded that note) if it's still there when we come back.....but it's gone.
