Phil, or other members from Maine.
I post this here because I know Phil and I believe other members from Maine actively use the fishing forum.
Anyway, my reasoning for posting is because while at college today I recieved a paper of the 2008-2009 Service Learning Trips that the college is taking.
One that really caught my eye is to Acadia, Maine.
The description reads, "Students drive to Maine and participate in rugged outdoor work while living on Acadia Island for a week. Service includes working with the National Park on outdoor environmental projects. Date: October 17-25th, 2009. Cost: $175 per student."
Beside the point of service work, we do have time to ourselves to maybe... ummm, *fish* or something, but I don't know if I could resist a trip to such a beautiful place all the way from Michigan, a weeks stay, and food included for $175-$200.
Do you have any information on the area, or any other input?
Thanks for looking, - Drew

RE: Maine
Drew,
You are getting a great deal on that. Look up Bar Harbor, Ellsworth, and Cadillac Mountain, it is on the coast with Bar Harbor and Ellsworth being the busy areas that are close by. Cadillac Mountain is the biggest mountain on the east coast with very good views. Scoodic point is another part of the Acadia Park that you may end up at. That 2 is a great place to be at. You will see the rugged coast line that is for sure. There is also some nice beaches in the area as well as a place called thunder hole. The tide coming in and out of there will sound just like thunder when hitting on the ledges.
Fishing is available there as well, though you are on the coast and most of it would most likely be salt water fishing. There is a few freshwater lakes there though that has some great fishing from what I here. I have never fished when down that way but have herd about it.
I will try to post up a few pics this weekend for you to see as I am working the night shift right now.

The only problem with the trip right now is that the date lands on my Fall Break. Every year my father and I have our annual trip to our cabin for a week of bowhunting. It's a tough decision because time with my pop's is valuable, ya know?

Hi Drew,

WOW, the National Park looks breathtaking. Absolutely incredible. Thanks for sharing that website Phil.
I haven't had much time to look into the opportunity. The deadlines for this falls trip are coming up. I need to speak with the woman in charge, I was hoping to find out if I can make a trip with a different university in the Spring time. Thanks for that website!
