Bouldering

Today we climbed to the summit of Mt. Cadillac. (The automobile called the Cadillac was named after the discoverer of this mountain peak. ) It was a wonderful climb and we enjoyed ourselves so much. Today as I sat by the seashore looking for seals, a young boy about 11 years old came to the rock ledges and started throwing rocks at the gulls. I got really mad at him. How is it that some kids have no respect for nature? This is what Sheridan Steele, superintendent of Acadia National Park says, "If young people spend 6 hours a day on cell phones and computers, national parks and the outdoors seem to be increasingly irrelevant. You and your family have a wonderful opportunity to enjoy Acadia today-and to help us inspire the next generation of stewards." I hope you have been inspired by this blog.
