It rain really hard most of the day. We went to Sieur De Mont springs. It is an area of Acadia that was burned in a fire in 1047. It burned down the spruce/fir forest for weeks and burned 10,000 acres. After the fire broad leaf trees. There is also Acadia Wild Gardens, which is a garden of all of the native plants in Acadia and they are all labeled.
The gardens were flooded by all the rain. When we got there a ranger was just leaving on a nature walk, so we tagged along. The other brave couple chickened out when we came to this part of the trail where John is, with knee deep water.
A birch wigwam like the early native people lived in. The ranger says this thing is a fruiting head of some kind of fungus, growing on the side of a tree.
Waterfalls from the storm racing down the woodland and Dorr mountain.
The Sieur De Monts spring was in the middle of a rain lake and the rain water covered the spring. John is once again knee deep. We decided to go to the Abbe museum. John thought stone age antiquities is an oxymoron.
The next stop was the marina for a lobster roll- had as much lobster at the ones we had to crack and peel in it.
A rain waterfall on the road back. Thick fog on the shoreline.
a rainwater bog on the way into the campground.
