Day 6/ Acadia


Finally saw crashing (sorta) waves at Schoodic Point, our destination for today. We spent the day here, climbing on rocks and following trails into wooded areas. Very few people are visiting this peninsula today which was added onto the Park when finally donated by the sisters who owned it.













Winter Harbor Light is out on Mark Island, seen from the shoreline of Schoodic Peninsula. Although the flag is flying, it is not a manned light house. That's a lobster boat in the foreground, whose captain is collecting his traps.












I am pointing to a "cairn," a means of pointing the way along a trail. One is not supposed to add to the cairn or disturb it as it has its own trail language. On our short hike today to the top of Schoodic Head we followed these cairns to an excellent place to view the islands in Frenchman's Bay.
