Today, we headed off to drive around Mt. Desert Island, taking Pooh Bear with us. We planned to drive all the way around the Island, but found that there was so much to see and so many fascinating places to stop, that we ran out of time and energy. These pictures represent a small sample of what we experienced.
We got as far as Bass Harbor on the south shore and made our way to the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse pictured above. This Lighthouse was first seen by an easy walk down a path with Pooh Bear. After that, we found another path that led to our being able to see the Lighthouse from beneath it. We climbed down steps and rocks almost to the water in order to be able to look up at the site.
Heading back toward the core of the island we found our way to Jordon Pond in Acadia National Park, arriving just in time for tea. We were able to find seats in the Restaurant and on the recommendation of our friend, Meade Gwinn, and a fellow camper, we savored lobster stew and popovers. Both were wonderful. We washed that down with a blueberry cobbler. This resatuant has been in existence for about 50 years and it was truly worth the experience. We bought a book of receipies and purposed that we would try to duplicate both the lobster stew and the popovers with friends back home.
Arriving back at the campground, we took a short nap before heading off to the grocery store. Again, we returned in time to watch a magnificent sunset over the ocean at our campsite.
Looks like you guys were having some fun in the sun. I love the big smile on Pooh Bear's face in his pictures with you two. Guy was really hamming it up for the camera.
