The Maine blog

  So, over this summer the boyfriend (Spencer) and I decided to go on a wild hair and go to Maine. When i say go to Maine we DROVE to Maine and when i say "we" drove to Maine I mean I drove to Maine and back. Well let me rephrase that i drove 7hrs there and he drove 4. Then back i drove 12hrs he drove from a restaurant home which was like 45min.

 It all started when he wanted to go to Maine again to see the sunrise before anyone else (we were to tired to do that). I Of coarse the lovely girlfriend i am said yea! not knowing we were going to be leaving that Friday night after a 11hr shift at work, in the pouring down rain to the point my car was hydroplaning on bridges and me almost pasted out from fright.We did make it in one piece,but by the time we reached the boarder of Maine we already switched and i was passed out. He woke me up at the visitors center, we were so thirsty! so we bought moxie thinking hey what the heck lets try Maine's national drink. EW. For warned if you don't like spiced coke, do not drink this.

its different alright.

Acadia National State Park

By the time we go to the area where the camp  site it it's 9... they open at 10 but people are already lined up since its first come first serve unless your a mother with a camper then just walking with a temper and come out with a ticket. On the upside we met a couple that hiked the Appalachian trail from the beginning to now end, we were worried we wouldn't be able to get in and our journey was going to be cut short. The line grow shorter and shorter as every person that walked out of the camp site building looked like a  Million dollar winner!

 It was our turn, as we joked about the crabby ladies and what will happen if there were no camp sites left i turned to them and said i will take you in if needed, the mans eyes lite up and he said really! as they look so tired from there hiking.

   Note: 

     When you go camping. Just bring a sleeping bag, not an air mattress  i blew a fuse for one and we had to use our own air to blow the damn thing up.

That is our lovely walk in campsite. The area to your right was a french couple that we only saw ever making breakfast and to your left was a middle aged couple that were camping experts with there over the picnic table canopies and there whole kitchen in one and they even brought there giant dog so quite and tame. After 2 night they left and it was a bunch i mean like 5 or 6 Asians in one tiny tent, haha.

Lets skip the boring stuff and go to the Precipice, As you can see from the warning sign on the top of this page, it is a VERY dangerous climb. As we are not from this state and no one told us what kinda cloths we should wear, we start to hike up this very very tall rocky mountain, in jeans, sneaks and a tee. We start with small rocks, larger rocks climbing pipes and at one point we had to swing my self up to a rock, i was dead and we weren't even half way this climb took us about 2 and a half hours.

We finally reach the point of which we are 5min away from the top after suffling inches away from death, This old man stops up and asks up if we knew what happened here yesterday, we kindly say no and start walking past him, he keeps talking and he said a young lady died right where you went by. Joyous! i thought, I'm a clumsy person so of coarse that freaked me out a little not enough to stop me from reaching the top though. We make it everyone around us is laying down or taking pictures of there victory! and we do too.

 Skipping ahead again, 

 
   STARFISH! i never thought i would find starfish just walking along a low tide, we did there is one point of the island that you can walk from main land to a smaller island, we never made it to the other island there was way to much to do in the water finding all kinds of crabs and starfish. Amazing what you can find under a rock.

Anyways, So the point of this blog is to be adventures,spontaneous! and have fun with life. I work 4 or 5 11hr days and depending i have 2 days max off a week a Sunday and a Monday and believe me Sunday you don't get anything done.I always try and find time to unwind and just be a little crazy!
