Bar Harbor, Maine
Tuesday Aug. 9 - 1938
Left Rochester N.H. at 8 A.M. and traveled via Danford, Yorkham, Lewiston to Augusta, Maine, on Route 202. Instead of going to Waterville we decided via Belfast in the coast to Buck'sport, Ellsworth to Bar Harbor. At Ellsworth we ran into a heavy shower and it rainedy after we got into Bal Har- bor. Put up at the Central House, the same place when due with LeVene and Timm.
The distance traveled was about 285 miles.
About 4:15 - the rain ceased and the sun came out. Decided to go top of Cadillac Mt., former Green Mt (or in Shalu) at 1537' above sea. Had an interesting time, but the heavy cumulus clouds - some near sea level - obscured the view. Could not see Mt Katahdin 110 to the north, and not at all the White Mts. And if you could say in peculiar light could take fan off on the ocean. Maybe again to amount. Visitors swarmed at the top more than half one ladies in their run cars.
