    He Who Eats Hats

    October 4, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F

    We had a dog whose Indian name was “She Who Stands on Head.” Indy earned his Indian name today. More later..

    Day started at a local bakery, sitting in the sunshine. Then we were off to ride our bikes on one of Roosevelt’s carriage trails in Acadia National Park. We were lucky and got one of the last spaces in the parking lot. It’s Saturday and it was busy. Park service had a rule, only class 1 e-bikes on the trail. Ours are class 2, and 3. Can’t understand why the limitation. Now speed limit 20 mph makes sense, Jill likes about 12 mph. We went anyway, as our RV neighbor said it was ok, they done it before.

    Afterwards we took part of the Park Loop Road. It was very busy. While we were driving the loop… we heard a crunching sound from Indy’s crate. Yep, he was busy destroying Jill straw hat. Indy’s Indian name is now “He Who Eats Hats”!

    It was too busy in the park, so we left, on way back to the RV park, found wonderful place for lunch along the inlet. Sat outside with Indy…Lobster roll for Jill!    Read more
