Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine

Left GCC at 8:30 a.m. and arrived Acadia around 3:30 p.m. Set up a quick camp--tents and tarps only, leaving all gear in the trailer so that we can get out on Otter Cliffs for a couple of hours. Right on the ocean, gorgeous blue-green water, sun, blue sky, indeed there are cliffs, puffy clouds--I should name them. Let's say cummulus. Austin had the non-certs--me, Katy, and Sarah L. work together and the rest of the group was in 3s. Sara knows some tech stuff but doesn't want to climb or rappel. I suggested we help her work on that even though she won't get a cert. We wrapped up and Austin and others went to town for the 7 p.m. Bruins play-off game. I and others have no interest and don't even know who's playing so went back to Blackwoods Campground. Made couscous and fresh vegs. Not very good. There's a camping cooking theme developing here. Went to town for water and a couple of things w/Aaron and the 2 Sarahs. Katee H needs a tarp partner so she'll share with me. Haven't really seen her much since the Raquette River trip as we've been on different trips. Cleaned up at the unlocked bathroom a mile away and then, beat, opened my bivy and climbed in happily. Lots of stars that make me smile.
