Hiking in Acadia


Put the tent away in the morning.


Hiking.


Bee Hive Trail / Almost Rock Climbing. Wicked Awesome.


Maine is a vision to be inspired by. (Jeremy, I could have killed your girlfriend like 20 times.)


We drove to the top of Cadillac so we could see more in less time. Cadillac Mountain is the highest point on the east coast between Canada and Brazil!


A cruise ship brought tourists to Acadia from NYC. Acadia is the second most visited National Park in the U.S.

Other Things of Acadia


Welcome: to Maine.


Maine Sidewalks.


In Acadia we also found conduit in the forest. A backhoe. And a manhole cover.


Camping: Does it trigger a genetic memory? A memory that is passed on through generations? Campfire. The genetic memory is reenforced by repeated imagery in the development of an adult.

To Acadia


There is an awesome bridge to cross on the way to Acadia.


We were trying to figure out the jobs people have in Maine.


Lots of lobstermen.

Jenn DePalma Visits from DC


My Friend Jenn came to visit me in Maine.


Jenn is a vegetarian so I brought her a carrot. She ate it while she pointed to Portland.


We took Route 1 back up the coast to Augusta instead of I-95


Bath Public Library: We stopped in Bath Maine to check our email at the public library.


Bath Iron Works: Went past BIW, ship builders. I had to explain to Jenn that this is real New England. I did it with a poem I made up.
Maine Explain Poem
This is the great northern territory
this is real new england
this is not upstate new york
this is new england
look at the way our moon reflects off
the brackish water
at night
we have brackish water
brackish
upstate new york

brackish water
