These trails are nice: shady and quiet.

A long fast downhill. Let it rolllllllllll
Lots of lake views through the trees.

Beer! Atlantic Brewery, Bar Harbor.
This was Brewhaha #15. We sampled 7 brews, and I bought an 8th.
All were yum.
Too bad they were only small samples.
PRICEY!! But 10% alcohol. And tasty.
Souvenir?
