Happy Wednesday!
Another busy day at the JPH (Jordan Pond House). In the
parking lot three different people chewed me out pretty decently while I also received
a $5 tip from one lady and a cookie as a tip from one of the tour bus drivers.
Overall, my job while in the parking lot seems to now be making people’s
parking lot experience even more frustrating when I tell them that since the
parking lots are full during the peak hours of the day, the best and only
option is to keep circling until a spot opens up. The bummer part is that the
majority of my verbal interactions during parking lot duty involve confronting
motorists with this unpleasant prospect. If only they hiked, biked, took the
free bus shuttle, or came before 11:00am or after 4:00pm…
I left work a bit early today to get into Bar Harbor and
reliable cell coverage. I had a phone interview for the recruiter and winter
placement positions through ACMNP. The interview went well…I think. Decisions
are made at the end of the next week. I would ask you to keep your fingers
crossed but that would do as much good as me worrying about the outcome. So let’s
all agree to not to either one of those.
After the interview I went for a run on the cool trails
between Bar Harbor and Sieur de Monts (the historic hub of Acadia National
Park). I have told people to visit the area because of the cool museum, nature
center, and trails around there. I’m glad to report my advice has been spot on.
The Jesup Path with its seemingly endless boardwalk through a forest of maples
will be a sure stop this fall when I get into leaf-peeping mode. The Wild
Gardens of Acadia claims to contain every plant species found in the park. It
is now my favorite garden in the park.
Today’s picture of the day is the boardwalk on the Jesup
Path. Enjoy!
