Our Last Day in Maine :(

Mallory and I at the sunset

I woke up a little earlier to be ready at the van today, since we had an event we had to be on time for. It was our final day in Maine so it was a little bittersweet, but we ended it with an immensely great opportunity with Friends of Acadia! They organized an early Save Our Summits for our group to participate in, where we hiked soil up to Sargent Mountain for plant restoration projects on the peak. It was a pretty intense walk to the top and I had to stop a few times to catch my breath, but the view at the end was totally worth it. The hike down was definitely a lot easier than going up. Mallory fell about three times and I did slip once, but I landed pretty calmly. Once we got to the parking lot, we left in the big white van and headed back to the KOA for a little break. I braided Mallory and Libby’s hair while we were there, and then we all left to Bar Harbor for some shopping and dinner. I got a t-shirt and a sweatshirt for around $59, which I’m so pumped about. We went to Pizza 131 for dinner before we all went back to the campgrounds. Mallory and I jumped out of the van once we got back to run to see the sunset because it was the prettiest one that we’d seen since we’ve been here. Now, I’m back outside the cabins eating a smore!
