Travel Banter: Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor

08.07.24. Gnarly trails, more fog, and the stranding land bridge…

We made it from Provincetown to Bar Harbor in one shot by staying far in the ocean to avoid lobster traps. It worked and we saved four days of hopping along the coast. We love this place (when the weather is nice).

From the show:

“…Roots, rocks, and a dog pulling me out of sync with my steps. So it's always a bit tricky to climb these things because I have to worry about my balance more than I normally would. But on a straight where it's not quite as technical, there is a little bonus of him pulling me…”

“… It's funny how you learn how different boats sound. I can tell a lobster fishing boat from a center console or some type of other big cruise ship or something. There's just distinct sounds in the way they move around the water where they do this big turn and stop and speed up again…”

“…The winter season has been quite harsh. I suppose, in a way, it is a healthy cycle where the trees that are weaker get knocked down and eaten by the bugs, contribute back its fertilizer and carbon back to the earth and spring new life. But it looks like an absolute mess inside…”
