Acadia National Park

craziness. too bad it happened.

We were in Bar Harbor that day... our last day of vacation. We decided not to visit the park knowing it would be too dangerous. It amazes me how many people don't get it. When hiking, I saw so many people climbing difficult trails in flip flops.

Hiking in Acadia must be fantastic. I was only in the park for part of a day on a New England Foilage tour a few years ago. But what a day it was! A clear day allowed our bus to venture up Cadillac Mtn & the views were amazing. Felt like I was on top of the world! I'd love to return... wish is were closer to Kentucky

Was looking forward to the cold and rainy weather. I think it will return when we leave tomorrow for Florida :-(

spent yesterday at Schoodic Point with my mom and 2 granddaughters - a favorite place for all of us, even in the fog.

Lucky you! Love Schoodic -- hardly anyone goes there.

And as of one week ago, there were tons of slippery rocks, as well as waterfalls. Beautiful, even in the rain.

OHHHH Maine! The fever has started! I need me some Thurstons!

living near Acadia is a blessing - love the scenery at my beck and call:)

OHHHH Maine! The fever has started! I need me some Thurstons!

Tom Walsh... Read More’s Portsmouth-based development company Ocean Properties,submitted a proposal to the Bar Harbor Planning Department for a 120-room hotel along the waterfront in early March of thiis year. It will include a 125 seat Cafe stlye Restaurant as well as other commercial space. Ocean Properties bought up several properties including homes in the Rodick and West streets area of downtown Bar Harbor. From what I know the hotel will operate from early spring through late fall and during peak season will employ 80 people.
He is a genius in real estate development and Portland seriously screwed up by not having Ocean Properties manage the redevelopment of the Maine State Pier. Olympia reneged and now they are way behind the eight ball but that is par for the course for Portland with their messing up the opportunity for a Convention center Joe Boulos wanted to build, and the Libra Foundation's offer to build a new Civic Center.
Ok I'm done ranting...where did that come from! LOL

just 45 more days and I will be there.

Can't wait leave the 27th of June for Mount Desert Island. Yipee!

I was ther in 07 in July they, Bar harbor has a nice parade for the 4rh

Plans have been proposed to put up an 80 foot tower on top of Cadillac Mountain. :-( It's in the Bangor Daily today.

What a view that will be! Scary with all that wind, though!

Yes you can but it won't be cheap!

my home........I miss it..........

Oh Anne....the heavy fog is in my yard across the bay in Lamoine too. Just wait until the weekend, did you hear the forecast? ( 60-70, woo-hoo!)

Shirt with a butterfly on it. That's about all I can manage this stressful week...
:)

WOW! A big fan club...thought we were the only members, Betty, from our Asticou days...Maybe Micki will be driven behind the Clydesdales by Rod's neice Amanda next summer!

deb and I have timeshare in Southwest Harbor. It's fantastic getaway.

I'll be at home, but will continue to pick up the trash along side the country roads. I despise it when people through their garbage on the road... no use, find the nearest garbage can!!! Keep our land clean!

I watched a guy at the local grocery store yell about a guy who didn't stop at a stop sign so he could cross the parking lot to his car, then throw a bunch of garbage on the ground as he got in his car. I immediately went over to pick up the garbage while he rolled his window down and chastised him for his "me" attitude. Didn't effect him much, but at least I felt better and he & his wife were embarrassed!
