The Hike Plan: We will walk from our campsite down to the park road to access the Otter Point to Sand Beach Ocean Path. If we started this hike on time the we may continue walking along the coast paths to Bar Harbor for dinner. Otherwise we take the bus shuttle bus to Bar Harbor from near the Great Head Trail. We will take the free shuttle bus back to our campsite after dinner. For a hike map CLICK HERE (http://files.meetup.com/1731871/H.A.T.s_2015_%2328A_Hike_Maps.pdf).

Gathering Place: We will gather at the Blackwoods Campsite. I'll notify people of the campsite # or location after we check-in. Or non-campers can meet us at the Otter Point Trail head at ~3PM, assuming we start on time. I'll notify people if we are late.

Optional After Hike Event : Once at Bar Harbor, the first place I want to check out is Bar Harbor Brewing Co (http://www.atlanticbrewing.com/). If the food does not look interesting at the brewery, then we can split up or see what place can fit a group of us for dinner in town.
