The Deepwater Harbor at Eastport.
Whale Watchers at work.
West of East is Acadia NP, so....
a bit of Bicycling seemed the Thing
to Do.
This is Sand Beach
(on the Park Loop Road).
Observe the Tidal variation.
A bit further on, Jan gazed out to Sea.
The next Landfall in the direction
of her Gaze is....
The British Isles.
A bit further again and we encountered
these People.
What are they Watching,
do you suppose??
(HINT: This is called
"Thunder Hole").
BOOM!
The incoming Surf meets Granite
in this Notch
with a resulting Din.
Cycling isn't always Smooth&Fast.
She is in 1st Gear and this
1/4Mi Hill is just
one among many on the
Loop Road. Seems Effortless
in an Automobile....
Not so much when it is
one Human-Power
instead of 300 Horse-Power.
Leaving Acadia and heading West, the White Mountains
of New Hampshire must be negotiated. To that end,
we traveled 2/3 of the way around Mt Crumpet
(Oops, sorry)....Mt Washington.
We never saw it.
Clouds are pervasive there.
Through Franconia Notch is a 2 lane Interstate Highway,
the only such that Ms Dolphin has seen.
This was the "compromise" reached between
the "Tree-Huggers" (I surmise that is anyone
not In Love with the Smell and Sound of
Diesel Trucks under heavy throttle) and
the "Forces of Progress".
The Basin
on the Pemigewasset River
in Franconia Notch.
This Pothole is being drilled
in the White Mountains Granite
by water/rock interaction
Thoreau stood here in 1839
and marveled
at the Sight.
He didn't have to listen
to Heavy Truck Traffic
a hundred yards away....
Ever Westward, a fortuitous
Lunch Camp (a la Tioga George)
was made at Wahoo's eatery.
A Local Wonder.
This Jewel,
Winhall Brook Camping Area
(COE)
near Jamaica,VT
became an instant Favorite.
Notice the Clear, Cold Water.
It has a Lovely 2.5Mi Bike path.
It just doesn't get any better
than this, Eh??
The CG here has some water/electric sites.
