Touring Acadia National Park

It rained a bit last night and it was a good morning to sleep in. Eventually we got up and cooked pancakes and sausage. It was overcast and cool, so we weren't anxious to start biking too early. We decided to go out on a wood scavenging run, thinking that since many folks are going home, maybe they would leave their firewood. We had picked up a few pieces near our site in A loop, when a guy pulls up in a van and asks if we want some kindling. Sure! Thanks! He was a contractor and had a large box of wood scraps that he gave us. He said they were closing B loop today for the season, and everyone is checking out there. He had just left there and said folks had left a lot of wood on the sites. We got in the car and drove to B loop and hit the jackpot. We found a ton of dried split wood. We filled up the back of the Honda, went home and dumped it, and returned for another load. We have enough wood now to last a week or more. After lunch we drove to Ship Harbor for a ranger-led walk along the coast to explore the tide pools. Big fun! Then we drove to Bass Harbor to see perhaps the most famous lighthouse in Maine. Normally one must shoot into the sun when photographing Bass Harbor Head Light, but today was cloudy, and we could take pictures without looking into the sun.
