Maine Trail Builders – Kayaking Away!

07/04/2010

After re-doing a few water checks from their first two days, the group was ecstatic to get out on the water for a day of sea kayaking around the Porcupine Islands! Holding the starfish, crab hunting and watching the sea urchins and seeing the bald eagle’s nest were highlights for the day (as well as the beautiful sites, sailboats and all around great day on the water!).

Although they didn’t actually see too many fireworks tonight from the top of Cadillac Mountain, hanging out with the Frost Valley Maine Coast group was well worth the drive up the mountain! The highlight of the trip so far? Being able to look back and physically see all of the hard work and dedication each person put into the trail! Tomorrow’s the fourth of July and hopefully a better view of some fireworks.
