Roque or Rogue? Perhaps Both

Lying just off the coast of a penninsula in the Jonesboro to Kannebec towns in Maine's DownEast is Roque Island or is it Rogue Island?  On most maps and the like it is Roque, but there are signs that spell it as Rogue; however, I think it may just be some locals having some fun with the tourists.  Anyway, we made our way to Roque State Park and were pleased to absorb more of the beauty of Maine's costal areas.  We found a beautiful beach with only a few visitors (considering the nice day and being a Saturday).  The shoreline is mostly a very coarse sand, but there are also areas of medium to large pebbles.  Both eerie and absorbing is the sound of the pebbles being rolled upon each other after the waves crash and the water begins to recede.  A sad thought - tomorrow will be our last full day in Maine for this trip.  Find photograps here.
