We made it up the Maine coast to the extreme eastern point of the state—- the small town of Lubec, Maine. It is interesting to see how far east this is compared to Florida.
We are camped where the blue dot is on the next picture. This small bay is really situated at the entrance to the Bay of Fundy.
Lubec is a small little lobster town. Interesting to look around here. It’s been here since 1770’s
The small lighthouse across the narrow entrance to this bay is in Canada.
Notice how extreme the tides are here. They fluctuate about 15 feet here where at the northern end of the Bay of Fundy the tides fluctuate about 30 feet. It was low tide in picture above. Below are views from our campsite of low and high tides.
We spent the afternoon at nearby Quoddy Head State Park which is the red point on the map above. The lighthouse here is sitting on the most eastern point of the US. It was built in 1858, replacing an older 1808 lighthouse.
The shoreline here is real typical, beautiful and stunning Maine coastline. We took a hike on a coastline trail that left from the lighthouse. Oh yea—get this—the water here is a frigid 43 degrees. The breeze was cold coming off this water and fog rolled in and out all afternoon.
we had fun just sitting on this rock for awhile and soaking it in
We have found three special things here in our campground that I want to share with everyone 🙂
1. Unlimited water and electricity! After 6 days with none—it’s a beautiful thing.
2. our camper neighbors have a special dog. Brings back Willie memories.
3. There is an adorable family of mallards living in the pond on the other side of our campsite. It has been fun to watch them.
