Maine - Sept/Oct 07 (4)

After touring the mountains we headed northeast, through Augusta, on our way to Bar Harbor. The coastal views were nothing short of amazing. Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory at Bucksport ME.Notice the observatory, 42 stories up. Acadia National Park, just outside of Bar Harbor, is breathtakingly beautiful! The Acadia National Park stamp is extremely important because it is the fifth "corner" state required for the Gold. Dinner in Bar Harbor was at McKays and featured roast duck. Simply delicious! Glen and Neil made great company too!
Bar Harbor is a quaint sea village, full of interesting sites. After enjoying a wonderful dinner we shopped in the village.
The night ended watching a beautiful full moon rise over the lighted sailboats in the harbor. Spectacular! Carolyn got up early the next morning, walking the village, taking pictures at daybreak. Seafood is abundant. Lobster pot floats decorate the exterior of the Eagles Nest, a local favorite. Fall is everywhere! The view from high atop Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park included an arriving cruise ship and the village of Bar Harbor. The view from Mount Battie and the town of Camden, Maine. A lone sailboat. Camden, Maine Glen's Gold Wing with side wheels, Neil's Valkyrie, and our Wing Boothbay Harbor, Maine
