Mostly Cloudy, 85°F, Feels like Hottest Day on Earth, Humidity 1000%, Wind 7mph from S - by Klimat.app

Inspired by England's Bob Graham Round (42 peaks, 65 miles and 24K in climbing that finishes in a small town in England) and local Darron Collin's 2015 covering of 40 peaks (https://bangordailynews.com/2015/07/01/outdoors/coa-president-hikes-40-mdi-peaks-in-27-hours/)

Motivated by the rare chance to do something like this with my brother Noah here in Maine this month and getting share some miles together doing something incredible. 

Starting on the west side of the island we traversed (its not really a "round" course) to Flying Mountain.  Kayaked across with Beccah, Dylan and Noah and then hit all the peaks in Acadia National Park and Land & Garden Preserve, then bushwhacked Brewer, Young's McFarland and REALLY bushwhacked Great Hill (on accident..) and scaled Halfway Mtn and Enoch and finished with a climb up Dorr.  We had a full crew with John Rodrigue meeting us throughout 24 hours and almost the full crew from ACI joining us for miles.  (Judson put in 40 miles I think over the weekend!)  Incredibly humid and hot the first afternoon, night miles were incredible if not difficult and the aid stations by my wife and particularly Noah's wife Jeanine were amazing.  Life savers John, Jen and Jeanine were and all our friends joining in.  Finishing in the middle of town at the town clock to cheering locals and kids was super cool.  Nobody fell, everyone kept up to a fairly brisk climbing pace throughout all 24+ hours and it will go down as one of the most epic events I never want to do again.  At least until I do.  42 peaks in 24 hours didn't quite happen, but it also doesn't really matter all that much.  Thanks for the inspiration Darron!

Thanks for all the miles Dylan, Rebeccah and Noah!  You were all a fun group to share some misery with.  Thanks Judson, Daniel, Lori, Jenn, Peter for keeping those miles fun!
