DAY 4: MAINE!

Shaking off beers and 45 minutes of sleep, we charged on to Kennebunk Beach, Maine with our MA-ratings soaring by the hour.

MA-18!!

MA-64!!!!

Blake started going Big Baby, absolutely refusing to run the 5K we signed up for before the trip. But I gave him a real-life Would You Rather scenario, and he chose to put on the ridiculous t-shirt and run the race.


The race was right along the Atlantic Ocean. I finished 15th out of 194 (20:37), and Blake came in 50th (24:08), vowing to beat me in a 5K sometime on the 2009 calendar. Godspeed, Mr. Nolan.


After the race, neither of us were capable of driving, so we crashed for a couple hours at a shaded Rest Area along the Atlantic. Then it was off to Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, which was absolutely awesome. It was chilly enough that a strange fog covered some areas of the land and the ocean, where other areas were completely clear.

From Acadia, it was into the town of Bar Harbor to grab some fresh seafood, beers and sweats for the night's sleep before heading back to the park to camp for the evening.
