  • It was a pretty busy weekend traffic wise heading to Maine. And for once I didn't have to drive, allowing me to look around and take a couple pictures
  • Coming up onto the bridge going over into Maine
  • Looking up into Bass Harbor as we wait for the next ferry to the island
  • Even though it was late afternoon, it was still quite foggy on the water
  • Lots of lobster boats in Bass Harbor
  • Looking off the back of the ferry headed to the island. Still pretty foggy even away from shore
  • They load the ferry right up with as many cars as they can
  • Once on the island and about halfway to the house we would be staying at, Melissa asked what kind of wildlife the island had. Just around the corner we got a partial answer. Here is a mother whitetail deer with two fawns
  • We've been spotted
  • The two fawns. It looks like both of them are males (notice the dark spots above the eyes where the antlers will later grow in)
  • On our first day, we did some exploring of the island. This is the shore at Burnt Coat Harbor Lighthouse
  • Looking down the short into Burnt Coat Harbor at the lighthouse
  • Burnt Coat Harbor Lighthouse
  • Much of the island's shore was rock like this
  • A small out building at Burnt Coat Harbor Lighthouse
  • Burnt Coat Harbor Lighthouse
  • Looking into Burnt Coat Harbor from behind the lighthouse
  • A small shack we spotted near the lighthouse
  • Looking through the trees into Burnt Coat Harbor
  • A spiderweb Tim and Dana weren't good enough to take a picture of
