We met and talked with two of our camping neighbors this morning. I feel like the McSherry’s. They were nice folks one set from Rochester, NY and the other from Chicago. We talked about trips and camping and our trailer experiences. Then after a trailer errand, we were off to the Southwest side of the island. We hiked the Wonderland Trail, an easy mile out and back for a great view and to Seawall for the rocks and waves. We also visited the Bass Head Light House in mid-afternoon. The rest of the afternoon was spent at Southwest Harbor’s small stores and checking on blueberry pie options. We had dinner at Seafood Ketch on Bass Harbor and then finished a game of Train that, predictably, Janet won. We usually play for closest loser. Finally a quick trip to Bar Harbor to MDI, an excellent local ice cream. CJH had Oat Cranberry and, surprise, it was quite good.

The lighthouse that launched 10 million postcards. Serious photographers don’t shoot this at 2:15 in the afternoon. Still pretty.
Update Cadillac - where, what and with whom — for his fans
Sadly, disappointment is setting in. No parade, no hoopla, no keys to the marsh. I just don’t get it. Ol’88 managed to fall into a swimming pool and got his photo in the newspaper and they made a big deal out of that but not a full fledged movie star in their midst. Well, I won’t let it get me down. I have a plan. It will be brilliant and I will detail it tomorrow. No parade, we’ll see who has the last gulp of grass.
