Apparently I showed up to Acadia National Park just a bit too early for the fall colors. I won't complain though, because the weather was perfect for camping. It was also perfect for hiking. Many of the trails on Mount Dessert Island (where the bulk of Acadia Nat. Park is located) head out to the water where you can climb out on the boulders as far as you dare. It turns out I am more daring than most, but not the most daring. It's better to be just behind that guy. He fell off into the water. Hilarious. I laughed as I helped him back up.
For my evening meal I decided to have my first steamed Maine Lobster. Found a locals place that looked like an old lighthouse covered with beer paraphernalia. When I walked in the owner was sitting at a table in the center on the dining room watching Sister Wives on the big screen. So immediately I think, great, laid back kind of place. This is good because I have no idea how to eat a lobster. I ended up sitting with Bob at that center table, having a lobster cracking tutorial and catching up on some seriously creepy reality tv. End result, I love lobster. Bob was cool, too.
Bar Harbour is one of the small towns that shares Mount Dessert Island with the park. Cute little town, right on the water. This photo is actually taken from a small island in the harbor area at low tide. When the tide goes out, you can actually walk across the harbor on dry land. Mother Nature is a crazy lady.
