A day in Acadia National Park
Yesterday was a day of exploring the beautiful Acadia park. The views or the coast are breathtaking. There was some fog in spots and clear in others.
This is THUNDER HOLE. It is a deep depression in the rock. Tide water rushes in, hits the back and thunders back out. We were there at low tide, so it wasn't as spectacular as it could have been, but still very impressive. I am told that at high tide, the water can shoot up as much as 40 feet.
Maggie got to come with us this time and she enjoyed all the people walking by. Here we are at the top of Sand Beach. She was not allowed down, and frankly, I was not into the climb down or up either.
The water at Sand Beach is a chilly 50 degrees. I can not imagine swimming in that cold of water. Janice walked all the way down and took some pictures from the beach.
Here she is walking back up from Sand Beach
This is the sky from our campsite. In one direction, it looked like the sky was on fire.......
...and in the other, pink skies.
What is that old saying? Pink sky at night, sailor's delight.......not so much, it rained all day today. Until next time.................
