It's been years since we saw Acadia and never in fall. Maybe a good place for next year's colors. We went up to the Michigan UP two weeks ago and the colors were outstanding. We rented a 1HP vehicle on Mackinac Island for a ride there. Jim '68 400HO Conv.

Put some gas in it and returned home. .....On second thought, I decided not to put the top up and prep it for winter yet. There must be another run left in this fall...... This was too enjoyable to let it end for the year yet.... Jim '68 400HO Conv.

Been a long time since I've been up there. Nice area for sure. Wanting a Custom fit in an off the rack world. I don't have time for a job, I just need the money.
