Day 2: hiking, drving, and sightseeing of sorts

The day started the same way it did yesterday: foggy.  Our first stop was the visitor center.  There we got a park map and information about doing a cache hunt (Earth caching).  

Fom there we headed out to Jordon Pond.  We took the 3.2 hike around it.  The close views were great - could never see across the lake though.  Besides a lot of trees, Beaver's work, and ducks. 

After that, we stopped for lunch at Jordon Pond House for some local food.  We had our first Popover. 

The misting rain started made it tough to hike so we decided to do the Earth Cache adventure the park service had set up.  It had you go to places via GPS co-ordinates and get instructions to get to the next site.  It allowed us to drive all over the park and see - well, attempt to see some sights.  Amanda had a lot of fun on the top of Cadillac Mountian as it was windy and the clouds were covering everything. 

All in all the drive was OK, the side trips unique, and memories made.
There were so many photos I wanted to add but can't figure out how to do it nicely in
blogspot so you will have to go to flickr and see what was added to the slide show.
