Schoodic peninsula 2 (same text, different pix)
After seeing Acadia nat pk head out north up to see the rest the rest of the Maine coast... heading for Calais -- Cal- AY. NOT Cal-Sis as the locals called it. Will go into Canada at Calais, driving the coastal route US 1 east, then hwy 186 south/ east along the Schoodic peninsula.
Schoodic peninsula is a southern finger peninsula... 6 miles east of Acadia nat park. separated by eastern bay / frenchman bay... it is just as beautiful as Acadia. The drive down the Maine rocky, red granite coast w/ the ocean surf pounding away was really beautiful.
The Schoodic drive was somewhat more fun as there were less people ; most go to Acadia. So it was more pristene, isolated/ less traveled... exactly what the Stonebear prefers.
Here is the Stonebear litmus test:
Good: Less people, isolated, pristene, natural outdoors. sometimes preferably wilderness
Bad: hearing people on their cell phones, talking about something important in their life like shopping for ranch flavored potato chips.
You get the idea.
