i came to maine armed with my national park passport (if i had to guess, i'd say kal probably has one, but not too many of my other blog buddies), with the intention of visiting acadia national park, on mount desert (pronounced "dessert"- just a helpful tip) island, so i could snap a few dozen photos and get my passport stamped.
we ran into a lot of fog during our drive to mdi, but we were optimistic that the weather would be a little clearer on the island.
well, it was.....a little.

most of the fog had lifted, but it was still rainy and nasty and hard to see much of anything.....in fact, i got pretty wet trying to take this picture at one of the park entrances:
the trip was strangely reminiscent of another national park trip, back in november 2004.....
any guesses?
nope- not yellowstone...
not the rockies.....
yep- believe it or not, the grand canyon's around here somewhere....
our first view of the inner canyon
the first part of the hike (on the hermit trail) was at a bit of an angle, but this section was an easy stroll.
the colorado river, day two of the hike
this picture does not do the tree justice
i should know the name of this formation, but, sadly, i have not a clue
looking back on day three, as we hiked back out of the canyon
