Lubec, ME & Campobello, NB

Sunset Point - a couple of miles out of Lubec, ME, eastern most RV park in the USA - this was the view out of our front window.

Channel light, "The Sparkplug", at low tide. The FDR bridge from Lubec to New Brunwsick
in the background. 

Here it is at high tide - 27' tidal changes here

West Quoddy lighthouse

Beach at the base of West Quoddy lighthouse - low tide. This is all underwater at high tide.

Buoys anyone?  Just a few of the ones on this property on Campobello Island. Must be getting ready for the season.

Some clever person transformed this old boat into a residence - at the base of the FDR bridge coming back into the USA

I guess if you need a getaway on Campobello Island, this is as good as any.  FDR knew how to relax. We had "Tea with Eleanor" one morning.  Docents gave us information about Eleanor, concentrating on the personal side and just touching on the public side. We toured this home along with a couple other summer residences.  The grounds were beautiful and the homes were what you'd expect considering the occupants.

We didn't add a carin to this collection of them at one of the beaches on Campobello.

View out of our front window on a foggy morning, and there were several of those. 

Russ waiting for the tide to go out so we could cross this sandbar to see the Head Harbor (East Quoddy) Lighthouse on the north end of Campobello Island. There were 2 sandbars to cross, 3 steep  rusty ladders to go up and down and of course the newly exposed rocks were still wet, mossy and slick. Narrow paths of boggy plants including poison ivy. Other than that it was easy. This is his idea of fun.

I rest my case!

Oh, I forgot to mention the need to pay attention to how long you are over there - don't loose track of the time.

....and you have to return over the same 2 sandbars, 3 steep rusty ladders, but the rocks aren't quite as slick now

I have to admit the view was beautiful from there.  We could see whales spouting in the distance and this one came in close so that it would make it all worth while.

Creative carins

I wonder how many people have added their touches to these carins
