When we got up we went to the nearby trailhead for Acadia Mountain. The trail was a gradual slope most of the time and changed from rocky to wooded and back again.
The top was smooth, rounded rock with a great view of the bay leading out to the ocean. This was my favorite view last time I came and I think it still may be. The islands popping up out of the water makes a great scene. The weather was great as well.
We hiked down a bit and then the trail began to ascend again over wet soil with raised roots and old trees. We wrapped around the other side of the mountain and had a few more views of the bay from a lower overlook.
After making it to the top of St. Saveur Mountain we made our way back down over rain-soaked ground where there were a lot of muddy areas to traverse and avoid. It was a good morning hike before we left.
On our way out we stopped at a little shop that had jams and honeys and plenty of funny stickers. We tried some pumpkin spread and I got a thing of comb honey since I've always wanted it. It tastes waxy.
We drove west, stopping at a state park to look for a hike. We found a few that were part of the Appalachian Trail, but neither of us were really feeling like doing another strenuous hike so we decided against them and stopped at a little pie stand to get a wild blueberry pie and some Maple moon pie things that were delicious.
We spent too much time driving around the White Mountains trying to find a campsite. One was blocked off on a dirt road that we drove a long way down before finding out and then we had to come back down it and through town to find the other one. We had some delicious rice/vegan chicken stuff for dinner though and that made everything better.
Once we had the tent set up we got to bed with the nice sound of rushing water nearby.
