Downeast Vacation Pg 4: Heading Home

November 2010

Saturday November 13th was our drive home. We detoured to the Schoodic Point portion of Acadia National Park. This is the lesser used portion of the park, and is very near to the Stinson House that the family rented back in 1997. On the way, we stopped & took a few pictures - as we started to drive off, Paul realized we had stopped directly in front of the Stinson house, without even realizing it!

Schoodic Point has a one-way drive through it. Along most of it, you can see over to Bar Harbor, and for some you can see Winter Harbor Lighthouse, with Cadillac Mountain in the distance.

Barnacles and small shells clinging to colorful wet rock

The point itself is a nice rocky outcrop. We had some definite wave action going on there.

Seawater cascading in sheet-like falls over flat rock ledges as surf surges below

We really enjoyed the Downeast area of Maine and will certainly consider going back.
