| The two RV Gypsies at Acadia National Park's Schoodic Peninsula |
|
August 19, 2011 |
| Schoodic Peninsula is located in Winter Harbor, Maine and is part of Acadia National Park, although it is across the bay from the main area. The peninsula is the only portion of the park on the mainland. There is a 5.5 mile one-way section of park road that hugs the coast around the peninsula with several turnouts. Most of the shore is composed of red granite. The forest is largely pine-birch but also consists of white, red and black spruce, northern white cedar, cherry, alder, mountain ash, and a variety of maples. | |

| Schoodic Point, at the southern tip of the peninsula, provides one of the best places to view pounding surf during rough seas. Schoodic Point is part of Acadia National Park. The two RV Gypsies spent a lot of time in this area, as you will see in the photos below - too bad it was a foggy day. | |
