Maine! June 2010






You know you had a great trip when you don't care about what kind of hair-day you are having. This was Wendita & Jeffito's first trip to Maine and we loved it. We hope to re-visit soon! Maybe in winter next time to ski?

Great Head Trail-Last Day/Last Hike




June 2010. Bar Harbor, great look at the Beehive trail and what Maine is known for Lobster Fishermen.

Last Day-Last Hike 3:Great Head Trail




Love it!

Last Day-Last Hike 2





June 2010. Bar Harbor, Maine. So beautiful! And-No black flies :)

The Trail



June 2010. Maine. I really got into these "trails". It was like rock climbing 101, good times.

Last Day-Last Hike








June 2010. Bar Harbor. On our last hike we had great weather, sunny skies, did not want to catch the plane. Always tricky jumping rocks in a creek!

The Beehive


June 2010. Ok a sunny day-thank you! Pictured here is the Beehive. Look at the left of that little mountain, that was the trail. You really had to rock climb straight up in places. Fun, exciting, would love to do it again.

Emery's Cottages On The Shore, Maine





June 2010. Bar Harbor, plenty of life in these waters. Most of the small shells still had residents :)

Mad Hatter Pub - Bar Harbor, Maine



June 2010. Bar Harbor, Maine. Mad Hatter Pub. Owner from Holland, MI. Nice touch-"Eat Me", and the timing was perfect as Alcie In Wonderland was released that week when we were there.

Light House -Maine




June 2010. Bar Harbor, Maine

Emery's Cottages On The Shore - Bar Harbor, Maine



June 2010. Our Cottage #8-In Bar Harbor. This place was great! Clean, friendly (Wally-such an awesome host!), just a few miles to the National Park. We met several guests who had been coming to the same cottages for years-I can see why.

Acadia National Park-Trail Surface




June 2010. June 2010. Acadia National Park-Beehive Trail. After going up, we needed to go down, but not the same way, too tricky. We found a new surprise with the boulder scramble!

Acadia National Park - Beehive Trail 5


June 2010. Acadia National Park - Beehive Trail. This was a great hike. Around every corner a new adventure. Like nothing I've hiked before. I'd love to do it again (in dry weather).

She made it!

Here comes Wendita from a 180 foot climb.

Making sure I don't fall...

Acadia National Park - Beehive Trail 4

June 2010. Acadia National Park - Beehive Trail

Does this "trail" every stop?

More iron stairs. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE IRON STAIRS.

I kept thinking "don't fall". I am a simple man.

Once again, sloping to the right, hold on!

Me thinking this was not a good idea, but a worst idea to scramble down in the rain...

UGH! Yep-That is the "trail", see it sloping to the right a little. Nothing but death down there!

Yep-that is the trail, I think I'm on my hands and knees!
