The Light at Quoddy Head

The primary objective of the day lies at the easternmost point of the U.S. - Quoddy Head, which is just a bit to the South and East of South Lubec, ME and just a short distance from the very edge of the Eastern Time Zone.  We traveled to our target location mostly along U.S. Highway 1 with just a couple short diversions along the way, primary of which is located in Machias, just about 25 miles from our current "home" site on Sunset Point.  Thanks to the suggestion by some bike riders we encountered along the shore trail at our campground, we decided to visit an establishment named "Helen's" - a place that appears to be very well known in the area for PIE.  True to what we heard, we enjoyed some of the most delightful desserts which Bill described as simply superb.  I will not be a bit surprised if we return to Helen's sometime over the next few days to try some other of the available varieties.  Along the way to Quoddy, we also enjoyed some more views of Coastal Maine and the beauty seems to be simply unending.  Thankfully, we now have sufficient internet service to be able to share these photos which we hope you will enjoy.  Yes, quite a few views of the light, but I couldn't resist.  Within the next day or two, I plan to upload all the photos from last week and I will advise when they are available.
