Sand Beach to Otter Cove 2013, Hancock, US-ME
May 5, 2013 9:49 AM - 12:04 PM
Protocol: Traveling
3.4 mile(s)
Comments: Sequestration...... Sequestration...... who came up with that one. Lets shut down economic development in a rural part of American by shutting down the one major source of financial revenue in Hancock County..Acadia National Park. Because of sequestration the first cruise ship visitors to the region had to walk an extra mile.... That is the good part of sequestration more miles for out of shape cruisers. Birds were a big part of this morning s trip.
