We go hiking and talk about the trails and peaks in the park. Egor chats about the history of carriage roads on his run through the park from Bar Harbor to Northeast Harbor.
From the show:
“…It's Saturday morning and the weather is excellent. Our friend Anna is with us and her dog with us as well. So we thought we'll climb up to the top of the Sargent Mountain. And the trail looked fine and fairly straight. But that's apparently the thing. When they're fairly straight, they're fairly steep. And man, this trail is nuts…”
“…I'm on a 12-mile run from, from Bar Harbor to Northeast Harbor to pick up some packages and get a shower. And carriage roads are awesome.It is tempting to think that they are artifacts of some old trade routes or transportation between locations before the automobiles came about, but the history of them is entirely different…”
