Today we made a trip to Thunder Hole in Arcadia National Park. Only one day after Hurricane Bill passed through. Yesterday at Thunder hole there was a tragedy there. 20 people watching the action at Thunder Hole was swept off the cliffs there and smashed into the rocks. A seven year old girl lost her life but a 12 year old was saved. 11 people were rushed to the hospital their injuries were mainly broken bones.Today the rescue Boat was out there searching for 3 bodies. These pictures I have taken are the day after, so you can use your imagination to see what the conditions must have been yesterday.
I can't believe people would take such chances to get their pictures taken with the waves behind them. We were taking pictures of the waves as others but at a safe distance from the edge of the rocks. But today people were sneaking down when the park rangers were not looking. It is so sad that these people were enjoying their vacation and because of stupidity they lost their lives and some were children. What were their parents thinking?
Aside from yesterday's tragedy today was a wonderful time with my daughter and her boyfriend Joe. We enjoyed the wonderful scenery went into Bar Harbor and then came home tired from a great day spent together.
