Trip North - Maine - Island Explorer

Didn't do much of yesterday after my 2 hour
venture into Bar Harbor and Gary has been after
me to start painting - so I decided to paint
the piece of Birch Bark I picked up at
Pemaqud Point - figured the Pemaquid Lighthouse
was an appropriate subject

Gary is feeling a little better this morning so I make an Itinerary

using the Island Explorer so he doesn't have to drive.

We leave after Lunch on the 12:20 No. 1 Oceanarium bus to the Village Green

in Bar Harbor.  Tucson says I got this!

We pick up the No. 3 Sand Beach Bus 

at the Village Green to go to Thunder Hole.

Gary disembarks

 It's just a short walk across the road to Thunder Hole

 High Tide is at 3:29 p.m.  We get here around 1:30.  It's not up to Thunder 

point yet.

We do get to spot a Seal

and the Scenery is great too

Here's looking at you Gary!

Time to pick up the No. 4 Loop bus to the Visitor's Center where we 

will pick up the No. 1 back to the Campgroud

Back on the Loop Road

The Island Explorer can be a wild ride!  It goes fast so getting shots to the side

are impossible and alot of the scenes are behind me before I can even aim my camera.

Got one!

 Pass by the Stables

 We get to the Visitor's Center our last stop before we connect

to our bus home.  I want to check for a hat pin.  

No problem only 52 steps up!

Lines to big and didn't want to miss the first bus back so

didn't get the pin.

Not a  bad afternoon.  Got Gary out into some fresh air and a

quick overview of the Park.  Hope he is feeling better in

the morning and he can join me on the one mile hike to Bar Island - only accessible 1.5 hours before and after low tide.
