Our current campsite, Hadley's Point, is but 2000 feet from the edge of the Bar Harbor bay. I walked down the hill today. Here's a little pictorial.
First thing encountered was an old, overgrown cemetery.

Then a friendly hello.

Then some shore scenes:

Last Day Of Summer, 2017

A bike ride on Rockefeller's Carriage Road at Acadia NP, Maine.

So, today it would become autumn at something like 4:20 PM. Why Can't they just say at midnight? Ah well, we had a nice ride along a portion of the road, created for personal enjoyment then given away to the public. It was a great gift from one of America's wealthiest at the time. We have seen this time and time again in our travels. Many of us do not pay attention to the fact that what we enjoy is made a reality because of the philanthropy of our citizens of wealth. So, thanks to the rich folks.

What happened here?

A mossy brook

Evidence Left At Scene

All that remains of a lobster dinner. The rubber bands to keep the claws closed.

Quick Tour Of Rockport, ME

Charming seaside town in Maine.

Just Sayin'

Napa, CA, where we started this RV journey, to our current location, Rockport, ME. 3,250 miles, if one were to drive it directly. We've been anything but direct, but we are here. What made me think of this is our morning. We are fogged in as so often happens for this time of year in Napa Valley. Thin fog with some periodic sun at treetops. Then it closes in a bit, then opens up in the process of burning off, eventually. Ah, if I only had some toasted San Fran sourdough bread, a late season ripe tomato off the backyard vine and some mayo. A great way to welcome back the blue sky for a day like this.
