The group met their kayak guide Molly at Jonesport on July 2nd and headed out on the water. No surprise... they picked up paddling so quickly! Heading out to Beal Island for the night, they had several glorious wildlife encounters... seals, bald eagles... even a porpoise sighting!
Island living seemed to agree with the kids as they spent the evening exploring the area and even did their part to pick up some litter that had floated ashore before calling it a night in their tents among the flowing prairie grass.
After paddling back to the mainland the next morning, they landed at Blackwoods Campground in Mt. Desert Island. Once camp was set up, they were off again for an afternoon summit of Cadillac Mountain! Highest point on the East Coast! Seasoned hikers at this point... the gang was back to sea level in no time and off to a night in Bar Harbor for 4th of July fireworks and ice cream!
