Day in Bar Harbor, ME and evening atop Cadillac Mountain

58 degrees here near Bar Harbor, Maine this morning.

Last evening we drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain here on Mount Desert Island.   Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park, at 1,530 feet (466 meters), is the highest point along the North Atlantic seaboard and the first place to view sunrise in the United States from October 7 through March 6. It is one of over 20 mountains on Mount Desert Island (MDI), Maine

Sun is right behind Phyllis' head

Yes, it was a bit chilly

Sun was somewhere over the Mid-West, but just disappearing here.

We had driven over to Oceanside KOA just after 5:00 pm and had lobster.  Here the guy had just taken it out of the boiling pot and was breaking the claws.

Entertainer played guitar, and violin and sang

 Earlier in the day we had walked downtown Bar Harbor.  Upon reading some literature found that the tide was low and there is a sandbar that is exposed during low tide that you can walk over to Bar Island.

 We weren't the only people doing this.  Even tho these two pictures look like a beach, they will be under 10 feet of water at high tide.  I would guess it is just short of a half mile over and back.

After volunteering  to take photo of another couple, he took our picture on the sand bar close to Bar Island

Those tourists!  Many people were busy piling rocks -- don't know if they withstand the high tide coming in later, or not.

Getting back to the top of Cadillac Mountain, these two signs gives perspective to the islands we were looking at from the top of the mountain.  (As usual, click on the photos to enlarge them) Bar Island - the one we walked over to - is in the center of the picture just close to land.

Saw this t-shirt at a shop.  Ring a bell with any of you who feed the birds?



We are off to a guided tour of Acadia National Park this morning and then will drive to Bass Harbor on the south of this island.
