Today we traveled to some of our favorite spots.  For those of you that are map readers this was today's route:  We traveled north on Hwy 1 to Bucksport.  Here are a couple of pictures of the stunning bridge to Bucksport. It is made to look like a pair of sails and is lit at night.

Then headed south on Hwy 15 through Blue Hill, Sargentville, Deer Isle, Sunset and Stonington.  Our route home we traveled again on Hwy 15 north to Hwy 175 and then south to Brooklin and then north back to Blue Hill Falls where we redid our route back home.

Beautiful downtown Stonington, ME

Favorite signs of the day:  Bait's Motel 
                                             Nervous Nelly's Jams and Jellies


We ate lunch today at The Fisherman's Friend in Stonington.  We both enjoyed "naked" lobster (lobster unadorned with mayo).  I had a beautiful spinach salad topped with lobster and Dave had a lobster roll (think toasted hot dog bun filled with beautiful hunks of lobster).  


 Once again, I am going to let the pictures tell most of the story today.

Beautiful old bridge to Deer Isle, ME
(This is where musician Dan Fogelberg
spent the last years of his life.)

Foggy harbor at Stonington, ME

Caterpillar Hill near Blue Hill, ME

View from Caterpillar Hill of the bridge to Deer Isle
peeking through the fog.

All of the above are from Caterpillar Hill. Looks like a
