Here are a couple of interesting facts about Acadia National Park. It was established in 1916, the first national park east of the Mississippi. All the land that was joined together to create the park was donated by private citizens.
On this third day our destination was Eastport, Maine, the furthest we could go up the coast without being in Canada.We also went to Lubec to make sure we visited the eastern most point in the US. On our way up, we drove down the Schoodic Peninsula to visit this section of Acadia.

Near Eastport at low tide. You can't really see them here, but there were people way out, digging for clams.

On our way back to Bar Harbor, we took the roads closest to the coast. We see very interesting things this way, like this Navy antenna installation near Cutler.
