When the day begins with a loon sighting from your porch, it portends a good day. We also spotted an eagle soaring over the adjacent island. Cindy and I set out mid-morning to take a walk on a nearby carriage road. We walked to one of Mr. Rockefeller’s bridges and then set out to find two more bridges off a trail. We did intersect the carriage road but could not find the bridges, so we came back on the same route to the Brown Mountain Gatehouse where we parked. About a 3.4 mile trip in perfect weather. We met a mushroom hunter and asked a lot of questions which she patiently answered. We had to take some freshly laundered items back to the trailer when we finished the trail and pick up a couple of things we were missing. When we got back to the house we found out that Tom bought a blueberry pie from the Sugar Bakery and we forced ourselves to try some of that for lunch. All seven of us went to dinner at the Side Street Cafe in Bar Harbor. The consensus was the meals were very good. My haddock was the best of the trip. Then, of course, a stop at MDI for ice cream. Tonight’s selection was a combo of Maine Sea Salt Caramel and Girl Scout Thin Mint. Wow. It was also the celebration for the 300th Park.
Update Cadillac - where, what and with whom — for his fans
What a day of accolades for me and my acting debut. Many of my fans came north to celebrate with me and have been providing me with great food. They have also provided an appropriate Star Level lodging for me. I have a marsh right outside my door, there is a fresh (Ed Note, was a…) blueberry pie and lots of super food type items. In the late afternoon, my fans piled into the transportation pod and we went to a elegant restaurant in Bar Harbor. They had flowers on the table! I had trouble choosing my meal but ended up with sauerkraut on mac and cheese. Of course someone else picked up the tab, another benefit of fame. We then strolled around the corner for a second celebration at an ice cream shop that has moosey flavors like basil. What a delectable frozen treat. I was appropriately humble and was able to appear surprised. Still have not had any scripts to review but the mail is slow up here in Close to Canada.
Ice cream means celebration.
Trying not to drink excessively is hard at a big party
Some of my fans and proto-staff for the celebration. Tickets were limited, obviously. Some of these folks drove more than a thousand miles to be here tonight.
