    Very nice! In the early 80's, while on a short 1 day layover awaiting to go back out to my CG off shore light house duty (Light Station Great Duck Island), I wanted to try and pedal to the top of Cadillac Mountain and snap some pictures of the islands around down below. Motobecane Grand Touring was my bike. Made it up just fine but unfortunately as is often the case in Downeast Maine, fog had blocked everything out of view except the road in front of me. Oh, and that Motobecane went out to the island with me (on a CG small utility boat; transferred to the light house's pea pod rowing boat!), along with my Vetta Wind Trainer. Riding on Great Duck with the Grand Touring was out of the question (I eventually used my Ross Mountain Bike for that kind of riding on the island); I used the bike and the wind trainer inside the small house where the crew lived in so I could stay in some kind of proper condition while living on the island a month at a time. Memories. Sparked by your nice video of MDI! :)

    Very scenic. Camping at a rest area sounds familiar. Camping among ruins never seen you do that before (Prarie Sprit Nature Trail). Your driving the van and as I am watching it gave me a cinematic flash memory to a film called Repo Man when I saw the airfreshener dangling from the rear view.

      You bet! It gets so busy its just easier to avoid the downtown section of Bar Harbor all together. Early spring is a great time to be there, less tourists, but theres kind of always people up and around there. MDI is amazing.

      I have a never ending list of things to do. That include backpacking, bike packing, and cruising in a Skoolie. Next year I’m looking at The GDMBR, or maybe riding across the country again. Currently looking at fixing up that school bus, to get me to more trails around the country.

    The Edge Explore has some battery saver options you may want to turn on. After a couple of deep charges it will start acting right.
