We made it all the way out to Sandy Stream Pond in Baxter State Park before sunrise this morning. Mt. Katahin was dusted throughout the night with a light snow. That combined with a clear crisp sunrise made for an unbelievable scene on the pond. The wind was out of the northwest and cold with a wind chill at 14 degrees. We held out for 2 and a half hours and got to watch a moose cow go about her business all the way around the pond.
After thawing out on the car ride south, we arrived in Acadia National Park this afternoon. We got settled in and had the famous pop-overs at the Jordon Pond House. This along with split pea and butternut squash soup helped recharge my batteries. We drove across the island to capture the setting sun at the Bass Harbor Lighthouse. A full day in Maine, from fresh to salt water, sunrise to sunset.
