• WOW IS SHE STRONG! THE OTHER DAY DONNA MOVED THIS BOULDER – TODAY, SHE PICKED IT UP!

• This young, tall read-headed woman offered to take a photo of Donna and I together after she saw me taking a picture of Donna by herself. I was thrilled to get one of those rare photos of us together but after she took our picture, I noticed the woman got her own camera out, zoomed in on just me, and took another photo. It’s amazing the lengths women will go to just to get a picture of me or to get my autograph. To add insult to injury, she was a lousy photographer – she cut Donna off at the ankles!

• On top of the world with the woman of my dreams. ‘On top of the world’ might be a stretch given that Cadillac Mountain is only (about) 1,500 feet, but given the nearby landscape, it provides a view of almost the entire state.

• This portion of today’s ride didn’t last too long – after a nice ride along one of the ponds, the trail began a never-ending climb that forced us to turn back. Given the climbing we had to do to get back to the car, it’s a good thing we turned around when we did – I don’t think anyone got back to the parking lot, wishing there was more trail ahead of them.

• My absolutely, without a doubt, FAVORITE sister – and ditto on the wife thing – hangin’ at the top of Cadillac Mountain above Bar Harbor. Three cruise ships were here today, dumping almost 7,000 tourists into the downtown area. Darn tourists!

• We had a few minutes for a family photo following today’s ride around Eagle Lake. The shuttle wasn’t quite ready to drive us back into town so we meandered along the shoreline for a bit.

• Telling me not to do something just makes me want to do it more, so when you post a sign telling visitors to stay out of the water, well…. Ultimately, I refrained.

• Dad and Tiff celebrate as they summit one of many climbs on today’s ride on the carriage roads through Acadia National Park. Topographical markings would have really come in handy while planning our route.

• Fall is just beginning to arrive and it’s amazing how much more red and yellow we’re seeing just since our arrival a few days ago. These colorful leaves adorned the edge of Eagle Lake in Acadia National Park.
