Interesting day at Acadia. Warm. Like a Spring day. No rain. Just a howling wind — more inland than at the coast.

I had been monitoring the weather, diligently. So, none of this came as a surprise. The 50F temps. were a joy.

I ended up hiking 16 miles (in total) that day. SMILE. Did all of my usuals: viz., Ocean Drive/Path, Jordan Pond, Eagle Lake, Duck Brook, Northeast Harbor, Ship Harbor, Bass Harbor etc.

The video above was at Eagle Lake. I don’t like shooting videos. Just not my thing. I am a photographer, not a videographer. But, I had to shoot this. Hope you like it. I sure had fun. Couple of times I wished (only half-heartedly) that I wasn’t as light as I am now. It would have helped if I was carrying 20 or 30 more pounds.
