We went for an overnight on Aces island on Labor Day weekend. Sleeping on a rock with dogs barking all night did not lead to a lot of sleep. It was a gorgeous fall night. We woke up – a little groggy from the slow release Amben and hiked from seal cover across 5 mountain tops to Somesound. Stella ran into one porcupine which was pretty ugly but the needles did not slow her down. Liz, 6 months pregnant, peer pressured us into the hike and led the way. September in Maine is amazing.
