Otter Point obscured by fog

Fri, Jul 20

Rained most of the night last night. Love it. Rain ended late morning and we headed out on the park road towards the visitor center over by Bar Harbor. I’m sure it was a beautiful drive, but it was so foggy we couldn’t see anything. Checked out the visitor center and bought a map of the park and a book on some of the hikes available. There are also 44 miles of what they call carriage roads in the park which you can bike on. One of the Rockefellers built the roads and most of the bridges in the park when he had a summer home here, and then he gave them to the state. The old gate house still stands over by one of the trails. We decided 10 days is not enough time here. Had lunch at the Chowder House in Bar Harbor and then came back. Walked the trail from our campground down to the shore. How beautiful! Sat on the rocks and watched the waves crashing in against the boulders. It was high tide and pretty spectacular. Still very foggy though and you could hear ships’ fog horns in the distance. Back to the campsite and built a fire. Had pork chops, mashed potatoes and corn for dinner. Blueberry pie for desert. Sat by the fire after dinner until it got dark. Supposed to be mostly sunny tomorrow.
