| After the ocean hike we decided to hike Jordan Pond and take a trail spur up to a moderate trail to something called The Bubble... It started off very beautiful. The pond was crystal clear. The trails were immaculate. Then we got to the spur to the second trail. |
| Well the spur was rocky, VERY rocky and very steep. But it said only 0.4 miles to the real trail. As we went up, it got harder and harder, getting to several vertical spots that clearly weren't "easy" or "moderate" To make matters even more fun it was getting very foggy and raining behind us. We couldn't go down, it was too slick and there were some 10 foot drops that we could get up, but not down. So up we went, trying to beat the rain. We were not prepared for this. There were even steel rungs in the rocks for the rock climbers to clip onto!! I managed to bash my knee into a boulder and cut it open, and Jeff managed to bruise his foot badly, but up we limped! |
| When we got to the top, this is what met us. The Bubble. A rock perched on the edge of a cliff....hmmmph! It was so foggy you could barely see anything! But we found the real trail to go back down and were much happier. The picture below is what the moderate trail looked like.We didn't get any pictures of the hard part, we were a bit too panicked by that point to worry about pictures! But use your imagination! |
| Despite our little "adventure" we had a very good time! I wish it could have been longer, but at least we got to see some of it! *NOTE* for those considering going to Acadia. Beware of spurs going from one trail to another!! |
