We finally made it to Acadia National Park<\/a> and our parents have not mailed any of us back yet.\u00a0 At this point, we have been roadtripping for almost 30 straight days and have seen some of the most beautiful spots in this great country!<\/p>\n

We camped at the Seawall Campground<\/a> in section D in site 13.\u00a0 Our mom chose the Seawall Campground as it is more remote and filled with fewer tourists.\u00a0 Our campsite was amazing and we had tons of room to run around and attempt to injure ourselves.<\/p>\n

We were right by a nice trail and we had a great place to make smores and campfires.
\nThis was one of our all-time favorite spots to camp.
\nWe wish we could have done more wilderness survival practice, but this campground did not allow that in the area where we were camping.\u00a0 We are going to Baxter State Park next and wilderness survival will be on like Donkey Kong.<\/p>\n

The Seawall Campground has no showers so you need to find a swimming hole to was off the dust.\u00a0 We went to Echo Lake and took a dip in the nice cool water with all of the other stinky people.\u00a0 It is ok to be stinky as long as the other people around stink just as bad.<\/p>\n

Wile was determined to dig down far enough to find some cool creatures.\u00a0 He never found anything, but he did almost get stuck.\u00a0 The beach was really nice and the water felt great.\u00a0 What a pretty lake.
\nThis lake is close to the campground and has several hiking trails that lead out from the parking area by the lake.<\/p>\n

After a trip to the lake, we drove over to the Visitor Center to get more information and to drive up and see up the view from Cadillac Mountain.\u00a0 The view was spectacular.\u00a0 Many people hike up to the peak to see the view and we plan to do the same.<\/p>\n

Looking for creatures in the Tide Pools was fun.\u00a0 As the tide went out, we could go out and look around for cool sea life.\u00a0 We always left no trace and after looking at creatures, we gently put them back in their homes.\u00a0 We never took any creatures nor should anyone else.<\/p>\n
