Bubble Rock

In Acadia, a place carved by glaciers, there are numbers of wonders: lakes, ponds, tarns, mountains, creeks, valleys......all near the ocean.  All these things in close proximity make it a remarkably beautiful place.

Today, Kathie and I hiked to another Acadia anomoly: a glacial "erratic" called Bubble Rock.


The rock is a 5 or 6 ton bolder that is perched precariously on the edge of a mountain top.  It was left there after the glacier receded.




Now it looks like some jokester hot glued it to the side of a hill-it sticks out like a sore thumb and can be seen easily from the base of the mountain.
