Acadia National Park Day I

Trenton, Maine  Narrows Too RV Park   High: 69  Low: 62

It's a foggy day, we love foggy days on the ocean! We went driving in the car today on the Park Loop Road in Acadia National Park. Every once in awhile, we got out to check out the view. WOW!

No real hiking today...We just got to our RV park yesterday, so we just wanted to drive through Acadia, get some information at the visitor's center, and plan our stay here....

The geological formations in the cliffs are amazing....the fissures, the regular, almost geometrical incisions crisscrossing each other in the rocks....This type of formation is called Ellsworth Schist. It's the oldest rock exposed on Mount Desert Island.

We clambered all over the rocks....And sat and admired the view....

And watched the gulls fly and land.....

And admired the pretty wildflowers growing in the cliffs.....

And checked out the wonderful sculptures on the College of the Atlantic campus on the way back home......Aren't these cool? Sparky just happened to look out the window and see the first one. A student stopped to tell her there were two more up the road into the college campus, so here they are, they look like they are made out of rusted rebar and other rods?....

And that was our day! Tomorrow is Sparky's very special 62nd birthday....Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music!
