Day 30 – Mount Desert Island Maine

Day 30 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park

What a lovely sunny, 62 degree day! It couldn’t get any better for a visit to Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Not only was the weather perfect, the crowds were manageable.  I can’t imagine what this park would be like in the summer or during peak foliage season.

Day 28 – Magnificent Maine Coast

Day 28 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

George’s House in Prouts Neck, Maine

After a breakfast of blueberry pancakes, courtesy of George, George and I took a 1.5 mile walk around the neck that led us over the rocks, along the beach, and on a boardwalk through a bird sanctuary.  The rocks we passed inspired Winslow Homer who owned a nearby home and studio in the late 1800’s to paint The Canon.  It is said that during high tide, the water sprays from the rocks like a canon, thus the name.
