Apologies for not posting for a few weeks as I have been occupied with the photo images and a few trips with Lee. We went to Campobello and stayed in a really nice motel which is one of two on the island called the "Whale Watch." We could have stayed at the tent cabin of this blogs fame, but nights went down to the low 40's and these aging bones (as well as Lee's) said "No." The island was wonderful as always and most tourists did not appear on this particular Fall weekend. Tourists are not ever a problem 0f over crowding even in the peak of the season. Another afternoon on a converted fishing boat spent in the Fundy Bay with Captain Mackie on a perfect day was wonderful. A few whales along with eagles, kittiwakes, ringbilled gulls, dolphins galore, and magnificent scenery made the day one to talk about for quite awhile.
Last Sunday we went to Acadia National Park and crossed several barriers set out because of the government shutdown. I was surprised as we walked up the access road to Jordan Pond from Seal Harbor to see more people walking than I have ever come across in the many trips of the last eight years to Acadia. Almost everyone said essentially the same thing, "This is our park and they are not going to take it away from us." We said hello to everyone on the hour and a half of our walk and our small protest against the stupidity of the shutdown.
Here are a few photos of Acadia this last Sunday:
Lee, who drags me to the most beautiful places
Still picniking after all these years. Friends still.
When the last leaf falls we will be left with Winter's beginning's.
