Melvin is King of the mountain

blog-0043816001403264366.jpgWoke up well rested today to 70 degree weather and blue skies. After morning coffee, Ruth choose to hit the laundry mat. Yes we have a combo washer dryer on board, but this way she says it's done in 1 hour.

That gave me some time to tinker, so I attached the tie downs to the awning and figured how to put the sunscreen over the windshield. The hardest part was figuring out the folding ladder. All done just as Ruth returned.

We packed the car and took off for Acadia National park. ( less than 10 miles away).

The first order of business was straight for Cadillac mountain. We hit the summit just about noon. That ment you could take in the full 360 view without being blinded. Don't know for sure, but I'd guess we could see at leat 100 miles. Don't miss this one on your bucket list!

I made sure Melvin had a picture to mark the occasion.

Next we followed the park road until we came upon Jordon pond. More like a large lake. To our surprise we spotted a restaurant from the parking lot. It was lunch time so in we went. Famous for their homemade Popovers and tea. The menu was a bit granola, but we both found something. My BLTT turkey and tomato was fine once I separated it from the 5 grain bread. One bite of the salad was plenty. The dressing reminded me of oxen sweat! Ruth had a buffalo meatloaf and the same salad. She was enjoying both until I made the comment about the dressing. Too bad, you know I always say what I'm thinking.

Since lunch was over we set out to find the Thunder hole on the beach. We took a few wrong turns, but made it about an hour before high tide. Not much action from the hole, however hearing the waves brake on the watch was good enough.

For supper I decided it was time for a filet. I had checked out the menu at the log house restaurant earlier so that's where we went. Great filet and Ruth love her stuffed haddock. We finished off with Baileys on the rocks then returned to camp.

Pretty much a perfect day.

It sounds like you have had such a mix of great experiences and trying experiences. Hopefully the great outweighs the trying in the end! We loved Cadillac Mtn, too. You were lucky to have a beautiful day up there - it is often foggy. I hope you brought a popover back for Melvin!

Buffalo meat and oxen sweat? Shoulda coulda found a McDonalds.

It adds to your list of "why me dear God?".

I still envy you the trip and, like the pain of childbirth, the trials will fade and be replaced with some good memories and laughs.

Peace and pleasures to you.
