Penobscot Narrows Observatory

We have had wonderful weather.  Every day there was a chance of showers but usually they were early morning or late in the afternoon.  We started with the Observatory so that we would be ensured a good view, before any chance of afternoon showers.


Located on the west bank of the Penobscot River in Prospect Maine, also known as Penobscot Narrows.
A one minute elevator ride on the fastest elevator in Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire will take you to the top of the tallest public bridge observatory in the world. Just opened in May 2007, it is 420 feet high.

They had to cut a road through granite.

Now on to Fort Knox.  Not the one with the gold.
