So I was thinking what is fun to do in the spring and I was like "oh drive MDI before the torists get here". So there it is we should have a meet in the harbor like food at geddy's and drve the park especially up to the summit. Late April early may I think would be the best time to do this.

Mount Desert Island, or Acadia National Park. Sounds like a good time for a group drive!!!

I've hiked, biked and drove it a bunch. Wife freaked out driving up cad in the ram, its so high you can't see the big stone blocks that keep from going over the edge. You just look out into space. :lol:

I've been to Bar Harbor, Ellsworth, never MDI. My wife's brung the kids once.
I might be able to do a CaddyMnt/MDi stroll. I'll know more once the time gets closer.
Someone pick a date and lets plan it out.

I dont know where I was. It was 1988. I was there for ski diving, which luckily didnt happen because of weather, the following week the ski diving school was closed due to their un-safe record.:eek:
