We are back at camp after stopping for lobster rolls. Jim shot an 84 in golf and I participated in a Wine Tasting at the Bar Harbor Winery. Life is good.
Anyway, back to the trip. Yesterday we were up before dawn so we could take in the sunrise on top of Cadillac Mountain - a must-do if you are ever in Acadia. This is the only National Park on the eastern seaboard and the views are amazing. It was still hazy but the sunrise was magnificent as seen in the shots below.
Cadillac mountain is the highest peak on the Eastern Seaboard in the US. This spot is also good for watching sunsets. After we had seen the sunrise, we were making our way back to Bar Harbor for breakfast when this group of wild turkeys crossed our path. I have seen them before but this was my first chance for some good shots. We saw several more turkeys today in our travels - some of them were driving cars while the rest were on the side of the road like these guys.
After an amazing breakfast at the Acadia Cafe, we took the entire Loop Road through the park. Below are a couple of shots of the "typical" scenery. After such a beautiful start to the day, the weather changed and it got very cloudy and rainy in the afternoon. I think the dark skies just added to the mood.
This morning we arose to clear skies which was great for the Deer Isle Scenic Drive. The two shots below are pretty representative of what we saw. It was clearly low tide as seen in the second photo.
We were really looking forward to driving through the town of Haven on Deer Isle since we really like the show by that name on the ScyFy channel but we never saw the sign for it. Probably just as well. Some very strange things happen there.
Well, that's all I have to post for today. Be sure to look at the post just below this one as I made it earlier today. My Pileated Woodpecker buddies are back in a tree with berries across from our Kabin and I want to see if I can watch them for a while. Tomorrow we continue our trek down the coast. The next post will likely come early next week from Connecticut.
Have a great week end!
