Baxter State Park & Campobello Island

We had lunch at Schoodic Pt.on the rocks on the way down east.. It is reallybeautiful there. We drove to Lubec and sawEast & West QuoddyLighthouse. It was quite foggy.We stayed over night and the next day we went to Campobello Island and toured FDR's summer home. It is gorgeous. We rode bikes and took a hike thru the bog. We had to go thru customs to get on the island as it belongs to Canada. Ask Bob about FIRE ARMS!! We could of all ended up in the brink!!!

We tented at Baxter State Park at Mt Kahtakin so I could see a Moose. After we set the tent up, one walked right thru the next camp site to ours! Bridgette told us to get up at 6am and take the trail to Sandy Pond so we did. We saw three more! Mother and baby and Auntie??? We slept on these boy scout cots that were about 4inches off the ground. I just could not get comfortable. At five oclock I finally went to the car! Bob had no problems. We opted not to stay another night!

Pat and I spend some time together

First we did lunch and shopping at Stonington at a restaurant over looking the ocean!!The lobster and crab rolls were yummie!

Then we did the horse carriage rides at Acadia Nat. park. Of course We had tea at the Jordan House on the lawn overlooking the lake. We had really yummy homemade popovers and jam. We stopped and took scenery pics along the way. I just love the little coves with the boats tied out.

Maine Coast is so beautiful. You grow up with it and never appreciate it. This is me with a bunch of lobster traps..

This is my sister's "cottage" at Beech Hill. They stay uptown 4 days and stay at the lake 3 days. We did the kayak thing, they have a new speed boat and a new jet ski. We also went mountain 4-wheeling!! One day we went to the Blue Hill Fair. My favorite was the LumberJILL show; chain sawing,log rolling and ax throwing. On the right is our newest addition to the family. Her name is Ginny and Bridgette and Gary named her after our mom.
