Acadia National Park, Maine
Alone, alone, alone above a raging sea
Sure it's only 500 feet high, but it's still a good view at Conners Nubble in Acadia National Park in Maine. Eagle Lake (no eagles, at least not that day) and Cadillac Mountain (where Cadillacs do actually abound) hide on the right.
One of my favorite places, well, actually just a bit north of one of my favorite places is Otter Cliffs, near Otter Point, Otter Creek, Otter Cove and, surprisingly, absolutely no Otters.
Sea kayaks lay abandoned on a secluded cove, four miles into a six mile journey across mostly calm waters that would still somehow find me absolutely drenched at the end.
Being in Maine on the Fourth of July means an opportunity to attend their fun, small town parade, where even a giant lobster monster, out for revenge for all its fallen comrades, has a goofy smile on its face.
We camped this trip, not in the park at Blackwoods but instead at a private campground on Route 3 not all that far from town. It was nice to be outside, although in Bar Harbor you’re not really roughing it if you’re eating at restaurants every night and really only even starting a fire to roast a marshmallow or two.
As for the plush hamster sitting atop the tent (a plush hamster named Chelmsford by the way), I wish there was a logical explanation for that, but alas, none exist.
