Bubbles (Jordon Pond in foreground)

(Named after some guy's girlfriend named "Bubbles" because it reminded him of a certain part of her anatomy. My my, she must have been something.)

Sat, July 21

Cloudy this morning but showing promise of clearing. Had a campfire and leisurely drank our coffee and tea. Not very warm. Mike went over to a site behind us to try and help the people (in a rental RV) get their slide out. Could not figure it out. We left to go hiking. Hiked the Jordon Pond trail (3.6 mi). A beautiful little hike. Had really good views of Bubbles—two cone-shaped peaks named after some guy’s girlfriend named Bubbles. He said it reminded him of a certain part of her anatomy. Bubbles must have been something. After our hike we drove up to the summit of Cadillac Mountain. Spectacular. The ocean side was shrouded in fog and mist. Tops of the mountains on the little islands were visible but the fog was everywhere. The other side was clear as a bell and you could see for about 20 miles. Then we drove over to the other side of the island and explored that. Stopped at the Bass Head lighthouse. The shore there was beautiful with pink granite boulders jutting out of the water. Wished I’d had my camera. The towns we went through were great. The oldest town and the first on the whole island was Somesville. That and Somes Bay were really beautiful. Stopped at Sea Wall which was shrouded in fog. Also stopped at Pretty Marsh on Pretty Marsh Bay. All in all a beautiful drive. The village of Northeast Harbor was really ritzy. The homes there were unbelieveable. And in the town of Manset in Southwest Harbor sat the biggest sailboat I’ve ever seen. Lots of money in the area. Back through Seal Cove to the campground. Filled the water tanks. Had sandwiches for dinner. Pooped. Saw a Loon on Jordon Pond and two doe and three fawns in Manset. We played Monopoly until about 11:30.
