May 31st, Tuesday: Acadia National Park, ME
We explored a small part of the park after arriving this afternoon and did a "Reconnaissance Drive" around the big loop to get our bearings for tomorrow. Then headed to Thurston's Lobster Pound in Bernard, ME where we had enjoyed lobster meals on our last visit to the park years ago. We are camped near the park for the next three nights and can't wait to hit some of the sites on the Birding Hot Spots in this beautiful park.
"High" temps for the next 3 days are expected to be between 55 and 65 with the lows between 47 and 53 and no rain.
In 1916 President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed this area Sieur de Monts National Monument. As more land donations expanded the national monument, in 1919 Congress redesigned it as a national park - the first to be established east of the Mississippi River.
A few shots from our initial drive.
Lobster pots
The "traps" are everywhere.
The lobsters hardly have a chance!
