Monhegan Island

Our first morning in Maine was in the 40's. After we bundled up we headed for Monhegan Island. The boat ride was an hour and a half of rockin' and rollin'. The island has only sand roads and 65 permanent residents, most of who are artists. People go over there to paint or hike. We hiked the Whitehead trail that went across the island to the high cliffs. We ate our snacks sitting on the cliff overlooking the ocean crashing into the many rocks. The trails were steep and rocky and many were difficult to manuveur around the roots and rocks. Some of the trails were only 2 ft. wide. We both did well with our "bumb" knees. We're staying in Boothbay Harbor right on the water. Tomorrow we're heading up the coast towards Acadia National Park.
