Today was a day at Arcadia National Park located on most of Mount Desert Island. The park takes up most of the island with seashore and mt Cadillac in the middle. We headed to the visitor center and caught the free buss to Jordan Pond.
Jordan Pond is the biggest "pond" I have ever seen! It's about 3.5 miles around and so we hiked the trail that took us around the pond.
The day turned out pretty after the morning drizzle and low clouds. The lake is pristine and the view was quite pretty.
The hike, which included some boulder hopping and some plank walking, left us tired and hungry so it was lunch at the pond. (lobster stew and popovers washed down with Atlantic brewing co's real ale.
Back at the visitor center we jumped in the truck and drove up to Cadillac mountain. this is Bar Harbor from the top. The islands are the porcupine islands which surround the harbor.
Another view from the top.
And..... some weather was moving in so we headed down the hill and off to the lobster shack to procure dinner.
We got two pound and three quarters lobsters for about $15 each and are now back at the trailer looking at them with anticipation of the upcoming feast. If they are good....how could they not be?... we'll do it again before we leave. Anyone care to join us for dinner?
