The surf was a little rough on Sunday.

We stayed at a campsite a short distance from the beach, but almost everything was within walking distance from our's
or Nancy's camp site
|
| We went rock climbing in the natural jetties between the beaches |
The geology of the Maine coastline is very interesting. Some granitic rocks with associated contact zones produced
mica schist with garnets and tourmaline, marble veins and interesting folded kneiss.

| And here I am, picking up shells and rocks (of course) by a deep channel known as the 'bathtub' |
Of course, no trip to Maine is complete without a trip to the country to pick up blueberries. We found blueberries
and steamer clams here.
