Motorized Scootering

Who’s ready for a thrill ride? I surely am! We will be riding through a section of Acadia National Park on 49 cc motorized Scooters. These scooters are said to be fun, easy to ride and will give us a thrill! So grab your motorcycle jacket and your helmet and ride with us through the breezy winds of Maine! VROOM VROOM VROOM!

The scooters have headlights, turn signals, electric starters and a good amount of storage space under the seat. Helmets and maps of the islands will be provided. DO NOT FORGET YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE we don’t want you to be left out of The Living A Real Life Retreat Bike Club!

We will be trained in the scooter procedures and the rules of the road before we take the scooters out on our own.

 

WEATHER: Though it will be 72 degrees on the day we visit, it will be rather cloudy. A light jacket is recommended.

Stonington Maine

Stonington, Maine is a town located in Hancock County. The area was settled in 1762 and was known as Green’s Landing before it incorporated as a town on Febuary 18, 1897. Green’s Landing was originally a part of Deer Isle, Maine, and today the two towns create a dynamic island community.

Stonington offers visitors a look into the unique culture of downeast Maine. Stunning, unspoiled physical beauty abounds on the island and supports commercial and recreational activities. Stonington waters are home to a working fleet of more than 300 lobster boats and, in the summer, recreational boating and kayaking. In the late 1800’s granite quarries from the island supplied stone to historic structures including John F. Kennedy’s memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. Today granite is still quarried on the island.

The foundation of the economy remains the lobster and fishing in dusty, with a unique sense of place attracting artists and sightseers. In addition to being the state leader in pounds and dollar value of lobster landings, the island hosts an array of hiking trail opportunities, including the Crockett Cove Woods, which consists of 100 acres of self-guiding nature trails and bird watching opportunities. A vibrant working waterfront is present on the island and supplies local restaurants with fresh lobster. The Isle au Haut mail boat travels from Stonington Harbor and provides access to the Isle au Haut station of Acadia National Park.
