Acadia National Park is pretty amazing. I spent three full days in the park exploring via road bike, car and trail running shoes. The park is unique in that the land was originally private land, that was then put into a land trust in the early 1900's to preserve it's rugged landscape. In 1919 the trust gifted the land to the National Park service, which is when it became the first national park east of the mississippi. Due to this unique heritage, you can be on park land one second hiking one of their many carriage roads, and then find yourself on private land looking at someone's backyard.

Got back into Seattle late last night and am looking forward to a week of no work, no class and all packing. 17 days until school starts!
