Acadia Nat'l Park - May 6-7, 2006

Last weekend, the girlfriend and I headed up to Acadia National Park for the weekend. It wasn't the most hardcore of trips, but there were good photo opportunities nonetheless and we had a blast.

Pictures can be found here

Great photos!

Excellent photos Artex! You brought back great memories with the shots of the ocean, the trails, the lakes, and carriage roads. I envy that you didn't have the crowds! How much of Bar Harbor was open for business this time of year?

How much of Bar Harbor was open for business this time of year?

I'd say a little more than half. Many of them that were closed had signs announcing they were opening at various dates leading up to Memorial Day weekend.

Let the tourist madness begin.

Great pictures. You mean sometimes you can actually see the ocean at Acadia.

Beautiful pics and a great trip, Artex! And of course after last fall you knew exactly where to go ...

Nice pictures. Man, can't believe it's been a few years since we've been up there! That's it we're going up there this year.

Artex - fantastic photos and you just gave me an idea! My wife and I haven't been to Acadia in 20 years, shortly after we got married. Since our 20 year wedding anniversary is coming up this June, maybe it is time for us to head back there!

Regards,
Marty

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the whole island (MDI) is going to be closed down from June 23-25 this year. May I suggest visiting Camden instead?

Camden is closed, haven't you heard? They rolled the sidewalks up so they can pave the street, and it won't be done for months.

Besides, my old time barber is retiring so the population will be down significantly from the previous year.

Actually, the entire state of Maine is shut down. Vacations by outsiders must now be planned elsewhere.
