Our campsite tonight is rather unique. Located on the back of a parking lot for Echo Lake on the Cannon Mountain Ski area. There are seven sites for full hook up and a nice view. We dropped south to arrive here and set up in time to go to Polly’s Pancake Parlor - a real treat. We enjoyed five different kinds of pancakes all with real maple syrup or maple creme or maple sugar. Major decision dilemma. It was a day of off and on rain, usually on but we did get a few breaks, one of them no weather related:) My glasses broke and a lens fell out. I did not lose it and called a local eye care place and they fixed it in five minutes. No charge - thanks! At a weather break we hiked a four waterfall trail that was pretty even in a light mist. Talked with nice folks, camped next to us, from Georgia on their way to Acadia for the first time with their son and meeting some friends. I tend to offer too much advice cause I love the place so much and want others to enjoy it as well. Don’t think after seeing the crowds that is really an issue. The leaf change over the last three days is visible and they are just reaching the “stunning” category. Hope we will see even more as we move to a couple of miles from Canada in Vermont tomorrow. 

Update Cadillac - where, what and with whom — for his fans

This is my last official day of protest. I am sure everyone has learned an important lesson. But tomorrow I am back, so it will be a monsterful day.
