Schoodic wander

Our first wandering point in Acadia today was the Schoodic Peninsula. It's the only part of Acadia National Park that is on the mainland, and I think it's Denise's favorite part of the park. Here's the description from the park's web site:

"Schoodic Peninsula, the only part of Acadia National Park found on the mainland, boasts granite headlands that bear erosional scars of storm waves and flood tides. Although similar in scenic splendor to portions of Mount Desert Island, the Schoodic Coast is a more secluded area."

We spent a good amount of time there, walking (carefully), watching the waves crash on the rocks, enjoying the beauty around us.

Once we finished our Schoodic visit we headed back to the west, visiting a small section of the park on Mount Desert Island before ending our wandering for the day.

It sounds like tomorrow will be very wet. Hopefully we will find some places to wander in the rain.
