Back in Maine

Saint Croix Island National Historic Site is actually located on both Canadian and US soil.  The visitor center is on the US side.

Saint Croix (so named because the original Frenchman who discovered the island thought it looked like a cross and God was telling him "this was the place")

The winter of 1604-1605 on Saint Croix Island was a cruel one for Pierre Dugua's French expedition. Iced in by freezing temperatures and cut off from freshwater and game, 35 of 79 men died.

Roosevelt Cottage

Campobello is another "shared" site ... while on Canadian soil, it is all about our US history and President Roosevelt. The historical site is funded equally by both countries.

Some "cottage"

I was lucky enough to take two tours and have lunch in their restaurant.  I would have had "Tea with Eleanor" but I had to go back to St. Croix and get the coach and drive to Bar Harbor before dark.

The megaphone in the picture was a gift from one of the sons and Eleanor used it to call everyone to supper.

Mulholland Point Light

Seeing lots of pretty fall color

I had a moment ... I'm driving down a grade and a Jeep exactly like mine passed me.  There was a moment before I looked in the rear camera to confirm mine was still attached behind me .... 😏

I had my first lobster roll and a bowl of some awesome clam chowder here.
