For the next two days, I'm still traveling in a southwesterly direction, skirting the center of another town, this time Auburn.

| 505 US 20 to 503 Washington St, Auburn |
Auburn is a town that was settled in 1714, as a part of several towns in the surrounding area. It was incorporated in 1778. It currently has about 16,000 citizens. It is known for being the place where
Robert Goddard, according to
Wikipedia, "launched the first liquid-fueled rocket from Pakachoag Hill, on his aunt Effe Ward's farm, in Auburn on March 16, 1926."
Once again, the area I'm traveling through seems rather undistinguished--industrial, commercial, and travel-oriented. I suspect that the exits off I-90 and I-290 that lead to US-20 have something to do with that. Plenty of lodging, food, and shopping along the way. There's even a mall not too far off the beaten path.
Well, I'm at my destination for this bit of my journey: 530 Washington St, although it's not a very good place to stop, since it's an apparently vacant house. Oh, well, I'll stop across the street at the Volkswagen/Saab dealership. They'll have a bathroom there, I think.
