Where are we at April? Aaah! I don't know where are you at Wayne? Trippin
Oh wow. Wow. Cadillac Mountain at the
summit
Hey you guys! Thanks for joining us on another journey. Today we're in Maine.
We're visiting Acadia National Park. If you're new to the channel, this is April and I'm Wayne.
We do a video every Thursday so hit that subscribe button
and smash that bell. So sit back, relax and enjoy the journey! ohhhh it's coldddd
you are standing on granitic rock formed millions of years ago when a very hot liquid cooled deep
below the earth's surface this magma chamber 2.3 miles below the surface... eventually erosion
and glaciers scoured and removed the softer overlying rock revealing the harder more
resistant granite which is Acadia's mountains kind of crazy to think huh yeah it's eroded that much
if you're wanting to go to Cadillac Mountain I suggest weeks and weeks in a weeks in advance
schedule your driving permit to be able to go up Cadillac Mountain especially if you want to see
sunrise it's very hard to get one of those yeah I would say as as early as possible in advance
you're going to need to go to recreation.gov get a vehicle reservation 30% of vehicle reservations
are made available 90 days ahead of each date the remaining 70 are released at 10 a.m eastern
standard time two days ahead either print or save a digital copy of your reservation
with the confirmation code which will be scanned connectivity though is unreliable in the park yeah
internet doesn't work at all or cell phone service you must also have a park entrance
pass to enter Acadia in addition to having that vehicle reservation cool cool cool if you see the
town down there that is Bar Harbor and we're looking on it from the top of Cadillac Summit
where are we at April Sand beach Acadia national park Maine
well obviously the tides going out it's the beach April
I love the beach not your tropical beach today it's about 39 degrees out fall
wanna out on the rocks for a little bit um no I don't really want to sit still want to go do the uh the
the real hike that we're here for is that the real hike that you're here for yeah that's why we came
what is it the Beehive the Beehive I thought it was the Precipice no I can't do the Precipice
you blamed it on me i can do it by myself then why'd you say i couldn't do it with her i don't
think you can do that one do you I'm not saying I want to you you said I can't do it no I can I
can do it but you said I can't let's go do it then you said I can't so why can't you because I have
you with me no you can't do it either that's why it was a Freudian slip [ __ ] yeah I can do it
we made it to the Bass Harbor Lighthouse this one's uh actually inside the Acadia National Park
Bass Harbor Head Light Station was constructed in 1858 the site was considered significant from
1858 to 1948 for its mid-19th century design and construction and for its association with Maine's
critical reliance on maritime transportation and aids that made that transportation possible it was
added to the national register of historic places in 1988. pro-tip if you want to watch the sunset
from Bass Harbor Lighthouse in Acadia National Park you need to arrive at least a couple of
hours in advance the parking lot is very small and there are a whole lot of people that are trying to
get a glimpse of the lighthouse when you're at the parking area you will note a walking path
to the left that leads to a stairway that takes you down to the face of the cliff to an oceanside
observation area the path to the right of the building leads to a vantage point that provides
panoramic view of the ocean and if you do brave going out onto the rocks so i think what we'll
do is we'll go this way try to go out that way you should be able to see it I think I don't
know how far out we got to go be very careful we saw someone slip and fall when we were there
yeah it's pretty uh intense you gotta be smart and know your your limits or do like me and crawl
when you come out the Bass Harbor Lighthouse to get the good view
you've got to do some serious rock scrambling tonight we got ourselves a bed and breakfast
really old old house i'm guessing probably in the late 1800s it's old really old we're here about
an hour outside of Acadia National Park just on the ocean it's night time now but supposedly
we can see the ocean yeah i was going to say there's a view i don't know what all that entails
anyway we'll put a link below how old is the bed and breakfast well the business has been
run as a sort of an inn since about 1886 started out with some platforms on the shore and some tents
the old white tents you might see in the calgary picture in the west and then the people subdivided
people bought property 75 when i got here the businesses sort of petered out and so forth
and i opened up to the public this has been in your family for how long the land is since
the 1760s okay how old's the house uh the interior part of the house it goes back to
around 1800. definitely old and crickety but it's got character and these blueberry pancakes we had
these yesterday for breakfast if you come here you got to do the blueberry pancakes April didn't even
put syrup on hers yesterday Wayne's all what he doesn't know what to think April not using syrup
what do I make of it absolutely and and this view you just don't even know it's amazing tide has
changed so much yeah that's crazy right i was just gonna ask you if the tides are different all up
and down the coast well tide's a tide it's different here the timings are different here than it is and
oh yeah the timings change all over the place and the different the swings of the tide depending on
how far north you are versus how far south you are will be different as well. We want to thank
