Our morning started very early today. The alarm went off at 3:30 am as Sue had decided that this was the morning to see the sunrise. We were on our way to the top of Cadillac Mountain before 4:00 am assuming that we would be the only ones headed that way. To our surprise, almost an hour later when we parked the car near the top of the mountain, we were greeted by many other people seeking to likewise see the sunrise. Pooh Bear went with us and as we awaited the moment, he made many new friends. The sunrise was awesome. From this vantage point, it is claimed that you are the first people in the continental United States to see the sunrise. Cadillac Mountain is just over 1,900 feet tall and dominates the entire landscape of the Island.
By 5:15 the sun was fully up and we headed back to the car. We prayed and sang praises to our God as we reflected of his care for us and for the very predictable demonstration of his care in this event. I was very grateful for Sue's encouragement to do this. Heading back to the Silver Lady, we both found our way back to bed for a long nap.
This was a lazy day but we headed back into Bar Harbor in the afternoon for a Native American Festival and a trip to a bike shop for a tai llight for Sue's Bike.
It was fortuitous that we made the trip up Cadillac Mountain this morning becasue as we slept this evening, there was a significant storm that came through dropping lots of rain.
