Reversing Falls on the Bagaduce River





It has been five days since I have posted; yes, we're still here. Today we moved from site 16 to 28 partly as a favor to friends for whom 16 is their favorite site and mostly because, when we arrived, we extended a couple of weeks. After we both swapped sites, the four of us cleaned up and went to lunch. We brought along a pair of sisters-in-law from SC who have been here before. Our destination was the reversing falls on the Bagaduce River. Tides in the area are 8 to 10 feet. The second picture was taken at low tide, and the river is surging over the falls from left to right. Six hours later, when then tide is coming in, the white water will be equally vigorous from right to left.
The first picture is a shot of a quirky but correct traffic sign that has always fascinated me. The next shot is a close-up of our lunch. Take note Jeanette; on the right is Durelle's lobster roll, and that foot long hunk of haddock is my fish 'n chips. The last shot shows the sign on the diner so you know that I am not making up the name.
It is 85 degrees, dry, and with only a slight breeze that is enough so that we do not need the A/C.

Cool stuff, Dad. Exactly the kinda stuff you'd like to read about in a travel blog. The lobster roll looks scrumptious.

Can you please ship me one of those lobster rolls.
Thanks Walter
