We arrived at the top of the mountain and ate our subs.

After we finished eating we walked around...

and posed for some pictures...


We descended the mountain and headed towards Thunderhole. It was high tide so it wasn't very exciting. So we walked around the rocks



...or was it we climbed around the rocks?



After about 5 hours in Acadia we headed home. It has been our experience over the past several weeks that when we finish our days activities it starts raining (thus creating my motto "We can't sit around waiting for rain"). The weather has forcasted rain basically every day for the past month. So this trip being no exception it started to rain.

So, after we got back to Bangor it started raining heavily. We were driving up Old County Road towards our house and the lightening was very close. Right after we passed Schoolhouse Lane, lightening struck the telephone pole that was about ten feet behind us, blowing out the transformer. I could see the sparks rain down behind us in the rear view mirror. The power went out on most of Old County Road. We took an extra lap around the loop to see what areas were affected by the outage. Our street was fine and most of Main Road was fine, but about half of Old County Road was out. We came home and decided that we would watch a movie after Rachel finished cutting Ken's hair. Rachel was about 99% done when the power went out at our house. We scrambled around to get some candles lit using my cell phone as a light. Luckily Rachel has a collection of about thirty Yankee Candles and they put out really good light.
We lit about ten candles and since movie-watching was out of the picture, started a game of Risk. I hadn't played Risk since High School, and I don't think Rachel had ever played. Rachel and Ken fought over North America while I worked on gaining control of South America, Asia and Europe. Once they realized what I was up to they formed an alliance to take me out. They both attacked me until my only troops had retreated to Siberia. Then Ken turned on Rachel. That was lucky for me because I would have been out of the game otherwise. The power came back on at midnight, but we were well into the game and continued playing until about two-thirty.
After the game Ken wanted to clean up the last part of his hair that Rachel hadn't got to because of the power outage. He picked up the clippers and shaved a strip right up the middle of his head. The depth guide had been removed so it was just the bare blade. I guess he'll have to shave his head bald now.
