Acadia Arrival / by Dave Hileman

Acadia National Park is my favorite spot. Shortly after arriving at Blackwoods Campground and getting the trailer level we set off for a walk on the shore. There is a path from the campground. It is past most of the familiar landmarks, Thunder Hole, Sand Beach, The Beehive and Otter Point but that does not matter, you are on the rocks, on the shore with waves crashing and lobster buoys bobbing in the wash. I know you can’t really swim here and there is very little sand to sun and build castles but for me this is the ocean. I’m sure we will find something to do tonight and a hike or two tomorrow and maybe ice cream, but it really is about the shore and the rocks for me. Worth the trip if that is all I did.

We have arrived at home base so, I’m heading out in the morning to see friends and relatives. And maybe there will be a parade. I bet there is a parade with floats and a band. Maybe a TV morning show would be there do. I’ll try to act surprised. For now I have a lot to prepare - so excited.
