Steven King's House

Continuing our trip through New England, on day number 2 we drove through lots of colorful trees. I wanted to see the only national park in the area - Acadia. An important thing to note is that Maine seems to be terrible at putting up road signs. Its your only national park and it seems like you would publicize that. Also a problem is, for some reason, my phone gps was very spotty. Acadia is spread out in different parts and at one point I thought I was heading for it and it was just a single hiking trail which didn't have any parking spots anyway. Even if there are signs for cities ahead, no distances on them. I would be curious about that and would seem easy to put on. 

So, I got to Acadia, but I have no idea if it was the main part. There was a "loop" you could drive. I started driving it, but it went about five miles and then it came to a T intersection with no sign on which way to turn. So I got to see at least part of the national park, but I'm not sure if I saw a good part or not. The part I saw seemed pretty, but so was the whole day's drive.

We ended up that evening in Bangor, Maine. It had a great bookstore. That was fun. Then we went by Steven King's house. Apparently he has lived his life in Maine and a lot of his stories are set there. I don't particularly care for him because I'm not a fan of being scared. I don't know why people do like to be scared anyway. But, I have read two of his things. I think I've read one of his shorter books and a short story.

Anyway, this is his house. It looks appropriate. A nice house, but you can imagine it being just a little spooky inside. The fence around is decorated with spiders and bats. His house is one of the few in America where that seems completely appropriate. Its almost Halloween, so probably a good time to read one of his stories again.
