Jeff Dyer of Suwanee recognized the rocky coast in Maine as last edition’s mystery photo. The photo was sent in by Ed Thayer of Peachtree Corners, who shot it at the Acadia National Park. Bob Foreman of Grayson also correctly identified the photo.
George Graf of Palmyra, Va., gave us more information on the area of the photo: “The rocky coastline in the Acadia National Park is primarily located on Maine’s Mount Desert Island near the popular tourist town of Bar Harbor, Maine. Acadia National Park is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The park began its life as the Sieur de Monts National Monument, created on July 8, 1916, by President Woodrow Wilson. It became a national park in 1919 and assumed its current name 10 years later. Later, John D. Rockefeller Jr. directed the construction of the popular network of carriage roads. Acadia was the nation’s first national park in the East, and it was the first park created entirely through private donations.”
