Some of you have asked why I have an RSS feed from Acadia National Park. I guess I have never found a place as magical, moving and inspirational as the State of Maine, and specifically the region surrounding Acadia. The combination of ocean, rocky coast, deep forest, granite mountains, clear lakes, country roads and cabin; all in one relatively small area is not found anywhere else I have roamed.
Back in the mid 90's I wrote "Somewhere In Maine" after performing at a music festival in Bath, Maine. More on that in another blog...
But "Acadia Drive" was written about the miles and miles of Park Loop Road that twist through the park, and offer some of the most spectacular scenery anywhere in the world. We have been to Acadia about a half dozen times now, but have never seen it the way twice.
This last time around, in 2006, was so special because Kim and I took the kids, and they were old enought to begin appreciating what they were seeing. And we did things we normally haven't done, like a horse-drawn carriage ride and a whale-watching trip. It is so humbling to see God's handiwork and realize that it is all going on right now as I type...the huge whales are playing in the ocean, the tides are coming and going out of Otter Cove, the lobster boats are fighting the waves to pull their traps, and someone is getting to see it all for the first time today. Pretty cool stuff.
