The Blueberry Barrens (Maine Vernacular)

Driving on a perfect early summer evening, crossing the blueberry barrens on the Sedgwick Ridge Rd. after fish sandwiches at the Bagaduce. You can see the mountains on Mount Desert Island (Acadia NP). Straight ahead, if you follow the road, you can see the blue water of Jericho Bay. The beautiful, empty ordinary of Maine.
