Camden Hills

Here we go on our seasonal Trail Crew hike in Camden Hills State Park. The colors here were absolutely stunning; much more than we have left on Mount Desert Island. This may be due to this area being more sheltered from the wind, maybe due to them being further south than we are. Whatever the case, it was dazzling, although it might not look that way here due to the overcast conditions. Sorry.


Here's a view of the lovely little town of Camden from the top of Mount Battie. We hiked all the way up here, but there is actually a road you can take to get to this particular point. Swell. The long strip of land on the horizon is Owl's Head, where the transportation museum is, right at the very right edge of the frame.


Just so you'll know, this was -- for all intents and purposes -- an actual working detail, and not a government boondoggle. Here we've stopped for a bit and are discussing the difference in bridge building techniques (actually, we were verbally tearing this particular bridge apart at the nails). There were a good many differences in the techniques used here and at Acadia, and we determined ours were best. Naturally!
