Well howdee dodee bloggers, happy Independence Day! We have just had six superb days in Acadia National Park, biking, hiking and enjoying a few of the trails from lowland paths to montain routes! There is a free bus that picks you up from the campground and takes you (and your bikes) straight into the park, good eh? Saturday and Sunday we hired bikes and followed a few of the bike trails including cycling up Day Mtn (583ft,yes really), the views were magnificient (2nd photo) and part of the way toward Sargent Mtn. My smile in the 3rd picture was somewhat forced, my legs were starting to ache from all the miles the day before and poor keith's ears were aching from the serious whinging on the way up. I must admit it was worth it though, and great cycling down!
We did climb to the top of Sargent Mtn (1373ft), a little scenic lunch stop on the way up (4th photo) and we were both triumphant on the sumit!
The 6th photo has Sand Beach in the Back Ground. We had an early start that day, managed Champlain Mtn (1058ft) then took a well earned rest, spending a lazy afternoon on the beach. (the main source of amusement being an older guy insisting on running up and down the beach in a pair of speedos!)
Today we have had a very interesting day hiking up a couple of mountains, just small ones (679ft) than ended up taking a walk around Echo Lake which involved some serious rock climbing!
Tonight we are having a typical July 4th supper, bbq chicken, corn, jacket tatties and beans - all cooked on the fire by you know who!
The next blog will be from Colorado, our 2nd adventure!
