Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse
Natural Seawall in Acadia NPWe awoke this am to a much cooler windier day with heavy clouds, but no rain. We drove the quieter side of the island this morning with visits to Bass Harbor, Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse and Southwest Harbor. The fall colors are now just beginning to show. We’ll see what tonight’s cold weather (frost and freeze warning) will do to help them along. We then did the obligatory shopping trip in Bar Harbor. Not crowded at all today, no cruise ships in port. The Hostess at the restaurant said one or more a day for the next month starting tomorrow. Lunch? Think of a Salmon Pastrami BLT, maybe a cup of chowder, and definitely an ice cold Bar Harbor Real Ale. Many of the shops have big sales on so it’s a good time to walk about downtown. We have some steamer clams for dinner tonight, and then we’ll try to burn the rest of Paul’s firewood. Tomorrow we wander south/west to Boothbay Harbor, a pleasant drive through many towns.
Oh yes, there is a hard freeze warning for tonight with lows tomorrow morning in the mid to upper 20's. I think I'll disconnect the water hose tonight and use gas heat. With the wind predicted to remain about 10 mph overnight, it could be a rather brisk start to the day. The proximity to water will not help as the wind from the north is coming directly from over the mainland.
