Acadia National Park
Acadia National Park is on the East Coast of Maine, next to Bar Harbor. The park contains the unusual combination of ocean shoreline and mountain scenery. On this visit to Acadia, we explored the Beehive Trail, hiked along the shoreline and walked on top of Cadillac Mountain.

Desert of Maine
In Maine, we walked around in an an island of sand surrounded by lush, green forest. The unusual area is called, the Desert of Maine. Geologists have established that glaciers covered the area 11,000 years ago. At the end of the last Ice Age as the glaciers melted, they left behind sand and mineral deposits. Massive land clearing combined with lack of proper crop rotation and overgrazing resulted in severe soil erosion that exposed the underlying sand.

Arethusa Falls
On Rt. 302 in New Hampshire is the Crawford Notch State Park. On our trip through the Crawford Notch, we stopped to hike to the Arethusa Falls.

A small squirrel was scampering around the rocks at the base of the falls. As I watched the squirrel, it zeroed in on an unattended plastic bottle. This bold little fellow was unafraid to do battle with the 6-foot invader holding a video camera.
