I guess I went to Village Park today...

...but I don't remember it!

Oh and on the 25th we rode, with dog on leash, down the bike path to give him a run.  But some fussy lady thought it was "a bit overboard".  Lady you're a jeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrk and you know nothing about my dog or me!

Beech Mtn Hike - Acadia

• Place: Beech Mtn, Acadia National Park
• Trailhead: Long Pond parking lot, south
• Hikers with OMMB: T and J
• Technical Level: Climbing up the west side of the loop was pretty steep.  The east side down was a real nice trail!
• Wildlife: Surprisingly none... Jesse's Bear Bell may have something to do with that!  Speaking of bears, we were told by a park ranger that the last bear on the island had been killed when hit by a tourist's car.  Damn tourists. :)

Looking back at the trailhead.

Tidbits:  GREAT 360 from the summit.  Also a fire tower, but unfortunately access to the top of the tower is locked.

Happy Trails,

A, A, A, Acadia!

• Place: Acadia National Park
• Trailhead: Eagle Lake (southeast end)
• Riders with OMMB: T and J
• Miles: 7
• Weather: perfect
• Trail Conditions: Carriage Roads...smooth gravel
• GPS Track: http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/248127088/3798052

Notes: As part of our camping trip all the way up the coast of Maine to Canada, we stayed on Mount Desert Island and tried out a peice of the carriage roads in Acadia. Very nice, easy, recreational ride around Eagle Lake.  Didn't really need mountain bikes because the dirt roads are in immaculate shape...and no autos allowed. A bit too fast paced for Jesse, as he is accustomed to zig zagging on single track. Teri on the other hand LOVED flying down the long winding hills on this loop.  The other drawback for Jesse... no swimming in the lake (apparently a public water supply...yet they allow gas motors... go figure).
