Acadia National Park (Part 4) Schoodic Peninsula, Maine
On recommendations of a local, it was suggested we visit the third part of Acadia National Park. It is the only part of the park on the mainland. The other two areas are on Mount Desert Island. As you can surmise, it’s a pretty big park. It was a fifty-minute ride from our campground.
Thankfully, we enjoy car rides, and the roads were planked by beautiful trees, including Birch. (I love these trees) When we arrived, we were greeted by huge boulders and the roaring sound of the Atlantic Ocean. It was mesmerizing to watch the waves crash against the rocks, exploding into a magnificent spray of water, and then cascade back to the ocean. We wandered along the rocks with the camera in tow, hoping to capture the sensation of the moment to share with you.
As usual, on the way back, we went exploring, and lo and behold – I spotted another lighthouse. Stop the car, let me out and snap away. (Like I don’t already have enough pictures of lighthouses). If my husband tires of my affinity for lighthouses and the need to stop to capture their beauty, he never lets on. He is most accommodating. However, marriage is a give and take. I take him to lighthouses, and he takes me on scary hikes up the mountain. Hmm – is that a win-win scenario?
