Acadia National Park

[drc]

Hey gorillas,
Just got back from a great vacation with the family. Hey, is that even possible? Well, it must be. We're still all talking to each other.

Acadia National Park is located on Mt. Desert Island off the coast of Maine. It's a rugged place, left behind by the passage of the last glacier. If you've never been there, I strongly recommend adding it to your list of places to visit. If you have been there, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

There's something for everyone there. Fishing, hiking, cycling, kayaking, swimming (if you can tolerate c-o-l-d water). Sad to say, the only thing I didn't get to do was smoke my stogies. With supremely bad timing, caught a nasty head-chest-sinus-whatever cold, and never bothered to light up. Would have been a waste of time.

In spite of being sick, managed to have lots of fun hiking with the family along the gorgeous mountain trails. Saw Peregrine falcons and bald eagles. First time for both of those in the wild. Had some excellent lobster and crab for dinner, and was reasonably impressed with some of the local micro-brew ales.

Now it's time to face reality again. :-(

IMHO the best park excluding all the great western beauties. Nothing tops Yosemite, Zion, Glacier, etc..

Us easterners need to claim something as their own.
