Day 5: Bar Harbor, ME to St. Andrews by the Sea, New Brunswick, swim, snack at Tim Hortons

Checked out of the Bluenose Inn in Bar Harbor, ME  and headed up the road 128 miles to St. Andrews by the Sea in New Brunswick.

We found a quickie drive off to see Petit Manon National Wildlife Reserve (alas, too close to lunch to take either of the hikes).

We took potluck trying the Bluebird Ranch Restaurant in Machias out. I got to watch Jessie on the Disney channel, pretty silly show. The food average. I had a French dip with fries with the bun kind of soggy, Bob a steak and baked potato and string beans.

We stopped at Middleton to check out the Bad Little Falls

and the Burnham Tavern Museum, maintained by the Daughters of the American Revolution and got a good lecture and tour, finding many cool inventions.

We were stopped at the border for a quick check of our vehicle, then quickly found our hotel, the Tara Manor Inn.

We took a good swim, then got somewhat chilled. Bob was hungry so we got a snack, blt, soup, and donut for bob, soup and donut for me.

Melakwa Lake Hike

  • Icewater
    These are some pictures taken during our Labor day weekend hike to Melakwa Lake. This hike is one of the many found in the Denny Creek recreation area in the Cascade Mountains of WA state, at the exit off I-90 bearing the name. Follow the signs to Denny Creek road, pass the campground and eventually you get to the Melakwa Lake trailhead. Total trip length 8 miles, approximately 9 hours with 2950 gain. Good stopping points at 1 mile in at slippery rocks and at the second falls about 45 minutes further. Hemlock pass is another 2.5 miles. Once you reach the top, the trail drops 1/2 a mile, 350 feet to the lake.
