MONDAY, OCTOBER 23RD
After another breakfast at 2 CATS, we were off to the top of Cadillac Mountain, It was a foggy morning, but when we got to the top we were above the fog. We enjoyed watching the clouds/fog move about, and taking different pictures.

George and Klara then took off for Bar Harbor via the Gorge Path and Kebo Mtn. Trails. We met them later in the afternoon. This was quite a difficult trail and outing for them. There were a number of steep down slopes. I am glad that I did not do this one.
Tina, Justin, and I enjoyed a more casual day of a drive along the Park Loop Road with visits to Sand Beach, Thunder Hole, and Otter Cliffs.

We also visited Northeast Harbor before returning to the Jordan Pond area.

We went to the Jordon Pond House and found that the afternoon teas were done for the season as they were busy tearing up the lawn area. Lunch again was on the shore of the Pond.

Back in Bar Harbor we did some browsing as we waited to connect with our hearty hikers. Our downfall was an Indian jewelry store and an independent book store. (We could have worse afflictions!).
Dinner tonight was in Bar Harbor at the Finback Alehouse. This time I enjoyed fish and chips. We again visited the fire ring at the Motel and shared our blueberry pie. It was a big success.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24TH.
We again headed for Cadillac Mountain for sunrise. We almost got blown off the mountain due to very strong winds.

In order to photograph the sunrise I sat on the ground with the tripod as low as it would go. There was also some low clouds/fog in the air. It was a pretty sunrise but chilly for us sun birds from San Diego.

We enjoyed breakfast on the waterfront in town. There was some more browsing as Tina wanted to show Justin a couple of stores. After a break we headed back to the Visitor Center to pick up one of the Carriage Roads for a casual afternoon hike in the midst of fall color.

Gorgeous! I will get to Acadia someday. Maybe fall for all those beautiful colors.
