When
we travel we see an abundance of superlatives – signs announcing the biggest,
the tallest, the first, the highest… You can guess what the superlative for the
day is. In 1808 West Quoddy Head Light became the easternmost lighthouse in the
United States.
The
rocky cliffs and dense fog necessitated a lighthouse. Now it’s a State Park with a lighthouse and trails. We hiked the Coastal
Trail and mostly had it all to ourselves. We love trails that hug the rocky
shoreline.
Here
we got a glimpse of the lighthouse.
Barbara
seems to find a pile of stones to photograph wherever we go.
The
setting sun peaked out just before we left.
We
camped at the “Easternmost Campground in the US” with the end of the peninsula
all to ourselves.
