We rose early on our last day (3:45AM) to see the sunrise on Cadillac Mountain, reputed to be the first point in the United States to see the rays of the rising sun, and to begin our long drive home to Maryland.

The sun peaks over the horizon at about 4:30 AM. Robert Storck '13, Mary Kelley '11, Ian Hall '12, Duncan Leech '11
