We had a picnic lunch yesterday in Acadia. We ate left over KFC and after we cleaned up our mess a pair of crows came down to the table to make sure we had done a good job. 
We saw three beaver lodges in this pond. Hence the nickname busy beaver.
This is Sandy Beach. Lots of folks visit here in the summer.
Guess who?
This is Thunder Hole. At high tide the water comes flying up those steps and wets anyone down.
This is Jordan's Pond. There is a tea room on this lake that serves Popovers that are suppose to be great. We were too full from lunch to try one.
We went up to the top of Cadillac Mt. It's 1500 feet high.
People climb all over the rocks up here. We didn't because it looked rather slick.
The coast up here is all rocky
The green plants in the foreground are blueberries.
The clouds started coming in while we were on the Schoodic Peninsula. This is a small part of Acadia that isn't in the main park that is on an island.
Out on the tip of Schoodic you can see the open ocean. It was 56 out here on the point and very windy. Brrrr
There is an old navy base here that has become a research center. One of the streets has a familiar name. It seems he was the architect for T. Roosevelt to make a wagon road with bridges etc. for the people to use back in 1916. We took the horse drawn wagon tour the last time we were here in 2012.
We've had a really good time here so far. We plan on a day off tomorrow and just hang out.
We're here until Wednesday and head off the Booth Bay for awhile. More later.
Love, Mom and Dad

Did you find any ripe blueberries? Or is it still too early?
Is that Atterbury part of our clan?
Dad says if this Atterbury is kin he is in a wider tree than he has. And blueberries don't come in until about late July.
Was just looking at a book I bought about Acadia and discovered that the greenery in the on photo is a wild rose bush and not blueberries. My Bad
