Coffield & Sally Knight, from Chapel Hill, celebrated their fiftieth anniversary today and we were honored to share some of the celebration with them and their family — here in Acadia. We toured a lobster hatchery with them in the morning, where Noah volunteered to band  lobster claws, and then joined them for a toast later in the afternoon. What a fun coincidence and special treat. Noah was especially excited to find some kids to play with.

Around the special events we visited more of Acadia on Mt Desert Island. Found Anemone Cave where you can get in at low tide and see tide pools in a unique setting. It isn’t on the maps of the park any more, either to protect it, or maybe because people were getting stranded in there as the tide came in. That is today’s picture. Beth slipped on the rocks, got a few cuts from the barnacles, and will be black and blue for a while but seems to be in good shape otherwise. She still thinks it was worthwhile exploring the cave.

We did see the first anemones of the trip. Drove the “loop road” from there which has beautiful vistas of the rocks and bays along the island coast. In Seal Harbor there were some beautiful boats and kids were catching mackerel from the docks. After visiting with the Knights we attended an outdoor slide show where a ranger shared some beautiful slides of “Hidden Treasures” in the park. Some of the treasures he didn’t discuss were popping out above us as the night sky was spectacular. We stopped on the way home at Hancock Point where there were almost no city lights around and had a wondrous view of the Milky Way.
