As I said yesterday, we’ve decided that it’s time to leave Mt. Desert Island and start exploring the rest of the Maine coast as we head south. Last night when we pulled of our hiking boots (which are really running shoes, we don’t have hiking boots on the boat) we had climbed 18 of the 24 peaks in Acadia, including every summit east of Somes Sound.
We carried the Spot and you can see the geographical location of 15 of the summits recorded below. Unfortunately we didn’t have the Spot with us when we climbed the Beehive, we didn’t find the trail to Huguenot Head, and for some reason the Day Mountain mark didn’t go through. Overall we covered over 30 miles (including 10 yesterday) and if you add our 18 summits it equals 17,108 feet! While we enjoyed the climbs, to put that in perspective that total is only good for the 4th highest mountain in the USA, between Mt. Foraker and Mt. Bona (had to google that one….)
I’ve numbered the photos of the summits to match the Spot locations if you want to see the summit marker at each location:
Look the new header!! Miss you at the show. I had 2 Painkillers last night…one for each of you!
Thank you! We’ll have to bring stuff for Painkillers to the Bahamas (no Pusser’s available down there.)
