Coast of Maine Part III

Another place the locals suggested was hunting for sea glass at Scott's Landing. Now, this place was hard to find, you wouldn't know it was there unless someone told you. But it was such a charming spot. We returned here several times too. You had to park and then walk about 1/2 mile along this gorgeous path that just made me feel like Anne of Green Gables. And then you arrived at the shore. We never saw any other people here, so it felt like our own little piece of Maine.

Now, when the locals told us to look for sea glass, we weren't really sure what we were looking for. We learned that it truly was like hunting for a needle in a haystack, but not impossible. We got better at finding these tiny treasures each time we returned to look.

So many tiny shells. The entire shore here was covered in these shells.

And here are our treasures from our first hunting excursion.

We headed back over to Acadia to visit the top of Cadillac Mountain. As we wound our way up the curvy road, we watched as the fog rolled in. We were certain our view would be hindered by the fog. And sure enough, at the top, we could barely a few yards in front of us. Having never been there, and not really knowing what we were missing, we still found it pretty cool!

It was so damp from the fog that my hair even had water droplets.

After abandoning our hopes of good views we descended back down and took the loop road around the park. And oh boy was it so beautiful. Every turn we made I kept saying it was the more gorgeous place I'd ever seen. And then we'd make another turn... the beauty was endless. And our conversations about moving to Maine became more and more frequent. Until we thought about the snow and then we decided on maybe just having a summer house there. ;) But just how gorgeous these meadows are.
