Saturday we stayed local and explored Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor Maine. We woke up and had breakfast at the hotel around 9:30 then headed out.
First up was gas. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find "super". Even the super we've been finding is 91. Many of the stations also have signs up that say regular only. Finally after finding gas in a little station that had 91 Super, we headed out to Acadia National Park. We did Park Loop Road and stopped for some pictures. At the top was Cadallac Mountain (which is the first location in the US to see the rising sun (not that we were there that early!)).
After the loop, we came back into Bar Harbor, found some parking and explored. It was a beautiful town and (of course) I had lobster for lunch. We did a little shopping and then split up and did our own thing.
Pipes stayed in town to explore while RockIt!, Spurs and I went back to Acadia National Park and rode through another part. We went up and saw Thunder Cove which is where the water rushes into a split in the rocks and makes a loud thundering noise as it crashes. It was awesome! I tried to take video of it but the thunder noise doesn't come through on the video very well. Anyway, it was about another 20 miles worth of exploring thought the park and it was a great ride!
When we got back to the hotel, we ate at a restaurant called "Maine-ly Meats" which was kind of like a BBQ place. I had a burger that was huge and just char grilled enough for perfect flavor. After dinner, most of the girls went to play miniature golf. I decided I was just going to go back to the hotel and relax and try to get to bed early since our KSU for Sunday was 7:30.
