Goodbye Camden, hello Baxter, Day 3

The sun rises here at around 5 am in the summer. I'm not much of a morning person unless I'm hunting. Or on vacation. This morning we are going for an early morning paddle. It is about 75 degrees with no wind and sunny. Perfect. The outlying islands paint a picturesque scene as Todd and I paddle our kayak amidst lobster buoys. We make it across the Camden harbor channel to the lighthouse and discuss the rest of the day's activities. After paddling back, we return to our campground for breakfast. This breakfast will consist of bacon and eggs. Man stuff. Our breakfast location was beautiful to say the least as we looked over the ocean and the surrounding islands.

After an extensive nap at the above location, it's time to go hit up the mountain which overlooks the Camden harbor. Now we begin the journey to Baxter State Park where we will climb Mt. Katahdin, the highest peak in Maine and the northern terminus of the Appalachin Trail. We enjoy a good sunset as we approach our camp. Tonight's dinner is Zataran's Jambalaya with hot dogs. For dessert, oreos and milk. This comes in to play later.
