Happy Saturday!
I woke up at 7:00 to find a pretty trashed employee dining room. Pretty disappointing. I'm not a fan of all-dorm parties that include copious amounts of alcohol.
Way back last spring, Ally emailed Sabrina and I to ask if we'd do a 5K road race with her this fall. I'm not sure what Sabrina said, but I agreed to do it. Well, as it turns out, the race was today. I flaked out. I figured the least I could do for not running in the race with her was to be her official photographer. Go, Ally, Go!
After the race, I had to take Sarah's car up to Cadillac Mountain. She works at the gift shop up there. This morning, Ally and I's original ride didn't ended up not waking up on time from a deep, alcohol-induced slumber. Sarah kindly agreed to let us take her car into town after dropping her off at work. She gets kudos for saving the day.
After I dropped Sarah's car off at the summit, I hiked down the south ride of Cadillac. I made it all the way down to the ocean.
At Blackwoods, I picked up the Island Explorer shuttle to take me to the trailhead for Champlain Mountain. The trail was one of the prettiest I've ever seen.
This was one busy beaver. I wonder if he was overthinking the dam. See link to article....
I found a 25-foot long cave. Luckily, I had a headlamp so I was able to crawl back in there and check it out. I'm going to keep it's location a secret.
I wrapped up the hike by picking up the bus at Thunder Hole to whisk me back to the Jordan Pond House. Even though it was low tide, the wind was strong enough that there were pretty good waves. For the most part, Thunder Hole was more of "sloshing hole." But, every once in a while, it actually did thunder.
