Seeing Quoddy Head Light House got us excited for light houses again. We headed for the Bass Harbor Light House in Acadia NP. This is a fairly famous light house and the ranger warned us not to go there for sunset because it is crazy busy. With only 14 parking spots, we could understand her comment. As it was, at midday we had to wait several minutes for a parking spot to open up. We explored the area and even climbed down onto the rocks to get that iconic photo looking up at the light house. Then we headed for the southern portion of the island to explore away from the crowds. We found a nice little park along Cape Road in Seal Harbor to enjoy our picnic lunch with beautiful views of the ocean. Following lunch we headed for the southern end of Long Pond where the ranger told us was a good place to launch our Kayaks and we wanted to scope it out beforehand. There were quite a few people there launching kayaks and paddle boards, so it is obviously a good place to launch from, but hopefully in midweek there will be fewer people.
