Opechee Island – Anchorage
“Life’s a beach and I’m just playing in the sand.” —Unknown
We could probably stay on Mount Desert all summer and find plenty to do, but that nomadic urge to keep moving pulls us away to the next new adventure. Our stop today was just 15 miles west in a little archipelago of islands north of Swan Island.

We’ve been out of wifi range for the last serval days. I will catch up on posts when we get back to civilization. For now we are enjoying a few beautiful peaceful anchorages east of Penobscot Bay. We’re filling our time exploring the rocky shorelines l…

Mount Desert Island
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” —Helen Keller
We woke to another beautiful day here in Northeast Harbor, but high winds were predicted for later in the day…so we decided to spend one more day hiking the trails of Acadia National Park instead of moving on. There are so many wonderful trails and carriage roads in the park; we could spend weeks hiking all of them.

Northeast Harbor Mooring
“You must go on adventures to find out where you belong.” – Sue Fritzmaurice
Our intentions today was to hike the North Bubble Loop trail and then hike up to South Bubble to check out Bubble Rock. The northern trail would have given us views of Eagle Lake and the northern portion of the island before leading to the north peak. Some how we missed the loop trail and took the direct route straight to the top. Once at the top of North Bubble Mountain we had a great view of Jordan Pond and the surrounding peaks. We took a little time at the top to enjoy the views before back tracking down the mountain and taking the trail to the South Bubble Mountain and Bubble Rock. Bubble Rock is a famous boulder that was deposited by glaciers at a seemingly precarious spot by the edge of a cliff.

Mount Desert Island
“How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!”—John Muir
What a beautiful day we had…the sun was back and the temperature was in the low 70s…a perfect day for hiking. We caught the bus to Parkman Mountain parking lot and hiked the Parkman Mountain/Bold Peak trail. The hike was a little steep and rocky near the summit, but it took us to the top of two barren granite peaks that gave us amazing views of Somes Sound, Northeast Harbor, Upper Hadlock Pond Great Cranberry Island and the Atlantic Ocean.

We caught up with our friends on Exuberant today. We met them in Frenchboro on Long Island. They told us it’s one of they favorite stops in Maine and after spending the afternoon hiking some of its trails, eating lobster and watching a beautiful sunset, I think we can say it’s one of ours too.

Seal Bay – Anchorage
“Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It’s a way of understanding it.”―Lloyd Alexander
The Internet is iffy in this area of Maine, so blog posts may be delayed. We had a long day Friday and went back to an anchorage we really liked the first time we were up this way. This time is wasn’t as impressive. I’m not sure it was us, the timing of the tide or the crowd that was there, but it just didn’t seem as pretty as the first time we were here, but we still enjoyed our evening.

“He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.” ―Socrates
Some days we have to get everyday life things done…we can’t play everyday. Stan’s phone died last week, so he ordered a new one and had it delivered to Robinhood Marine Center in Riggs Cove.
