The 3rd week in October, Charles and Mary Anne took a road trip to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, Maine. Normally the leaves would be past their prime, but they peaked late this year.
On our way to Maine, we stopped in Pelham, NH, to see John and Nate Westwood our old Rolling Valley Ward friends. They live in a lovely new home which is large enough to accommodate all of their children and grandchildren at the same time (we could have used such a house at Christmas:)).
We discovered that Sharon, VT is only 2 hours from the Westwood's, so after church on Sunday we had the opportunity to visit this church historical site.
Monday morning, we headed for Bar Harbor, ME, gateway to Acadia National Park. Though it was now officially off-season (10/15), the town was packed with cruise ship passengers and many hotels were full due to the late arrival of fall.
Tuesday morning we drove all over Acadia and the rest of Mt. Desert (pronounced "dessert") Island.
Wednesday morning we rented bikes and covered about 20 miles of the carriage roads in Acadia National Park. This is Eagle Lake.
