Evans Escapades in Acadia National Park–The Park Loop Road

This is our last week here,

so we wanted to make one last loop

around the park, and get those pics

we felt we had missed. . .

Sand Beach in morning light. . .

a reflection of The Beehive

Otter Cliffs as viewed from Sand Beach

Otter Cliffs as viewed from Thunder Hole. . .

Coastal Maine – being there just never gets old

love watching the water and hearing the sound of the waves

Otter Cliffs in the early morning sun. . .

no matter what time of day we have been there,

there is always someone climbing

up and down the Otter Cliff face. . .

Dave would so love to join them. . .

ummmm. . .not happening Babe. . .sorry!

I was utterly intrigued by the Cobblestone Beaches. . .

and by the story that ships would come and load tons and tons

of cobblestones to take down to Boston and ports beyond. . .

in fact. . .the cobblestones of any street you see in the

New England Area probably came from the beaches of Maine. . .

and when the surf comes in and out. . .

the cobblestones roll, and make the most amazing sound. . .

everywhere you go along the beaches,

you will see these little rock pile creations. . .

Dave loved them so much,

he created a couple of his very own. . .

Iconic Acadia National Park. . .

this is the shot you see in the calendars. . .just beautiful. . .

Sand Beach as viewed from the Ocean Walk. . .down by Thunder Hole

a pretty little waterfall just down from the Park Loop Road. . .

and we got in a few more bridges to add to my collection. . .

Triad – Day Bridge connects the Triad Mountain

to the Day Mountain Carriage Road. . .

Bubbles Pond Bridge

very, very popular place to bike. . .

no parking to be found. . .I jumped out to get the pic

while Dave circled the parking lot. . .

glad we got to see it. . .

Duck Brook Pond Bridge. . .also easily accessible. . .yaaaa!

a view of “The Bubbles” from Duck Brook Pond Bridge

and a pretty little bubbling brook,

which flowed under Duck Brook Pond Bridge. . .

reminded us of the beautiful streams

found everywhere in the Colorado High Country. . .

a huge surprise on our way back into town. . .

these wild turkeys crossing the road

probably half a mile from Bar Harbor. . .

and our last stop of the day. . .

Porcupine Islands as viewed from the Compass Harbor Overlook. . .

and the last treat of the day. . .

a late lunch at Jordan’s with RV friends Paul and Margery,

whom you will remember we also met up with in Niagara Falls. . .

We’ve had a great time comparing notes with them these past two weeks,

and although we haven’t done any touring together,

several afternoons we’ve had what Margery refers to as

our debriefings. . .LOL. . .

we’ve usually gone different directions during the day,

so we compare notes, decide if it was, or was not worth repeating. . .

I can honestly say, there have been very few duds in this part of the country. . .

We’re gonna miss Margery and Paul when they leave in a couple of days,

but think our paths will cross at least one more time in Cape Cod. . .

yaaa. . .a last supper there. . .ha ha!

‘til next time,

Janice and Dave
