That's neat you remember what your brother brought you and you kept it for all these years. Acadia is a far cry from the western rock formations surrounded by sand and straggly bushes. So happy someone with a vision decided to save these amazing areas for us and our kids and future generations to enjoy.J.Q.

It had a little plastic stegosaurus mounted on top and a tiny plaque on the bottom. The dino and the plaque are long gone, but the piece of wood is still in my daughter's specimen box. <br /><br />We love Acadia National Park in Maine.

Two guys traveling across the country having adventures in each new stop. Loved your pictures and so glad you returned safely. I know the heat was just killing. Sharing. :) Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08010048187355215576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078064962090919088.post-82225104744189850092016-07-21T10:06:58.385-04:002016-07-21T10:06:58.385-04:00Great post and photos, JQ.

The more famous the park the bigger the crowds. This park wasn't crowded early in the day. I'm glad Ted learned about it in elementary school and got to actually see it. Another item off his bucket list!J.Q.

I would love to have actually hiked a trail, but the heat was too intense to go too far.J.Q.
