Bob Foreman of Grayson had no doubt about the recent Mystery Photo: “It’s a view of Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park, near Bar Harbor, Maine. The mountains are North and South Bubble. The trail around Jordan Pond is a beautiful two or three mile walk. The time to be there is October because of the fall color.” The photo came from Charles Anderson of Lawrenceville.
Others recognizing the locale were George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Charles Briggs, Dacula; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; and Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex. Peel wrote: “Today’s mystery photo is from near the start of the Jordan Pond Loop Trailhead and close to the Jordan Pond House in Acadia National Park, approximately five miles southwest of Bar Harbor in Maine. At 150-feet deep, Jordan Pond is the deepest pond in all of Acadia National Park. Additionally, it is noted for having very clean, and clear water, which provides water to nearby communities and the Jordan Pond House.
“As for the mountain ranges, the pond sits in a valley formed by the Wisconsin Ice Sheet between Penobscot Mountain (1,194 ft) to the west, and Pemetic Mountain (1,247 ft) to the east. The two mountain peaks in the mystery photo are called the North Bubble, and the South Bubble.”
