Park at Red Spot along the road or in available spots.
Updated start times above. After a rolled ankle and some stellar last few weeks of training, there is some shuffling of the deck in here. We've also added Patrick Caron and lost Tobin Peacock, but overall still running with twelve entrants. I believe everyone is set up (?) for transports from Flying Mountain to the start tomorrow morning. John is kicking off at 6:30am and Patrick the last to leave now at 10:20am. I've adjusted the times slightly earlier to accommodate a longer drive time around Somes Sound. When you get to Flying Mountain you should just in YOUR car and drive around. The NE Harbor Golf course will technically be open, but they will lock their gates at 7pm. So, instead of parking IN their lot, park along the side of the road on the golf course side at their entrance, and just beyond it. Tom spoke with the GC and the Mount Desert PD there so they are aware there will be vehicles there in those pull outs. Just make sure to pull your car off to its not an issue with the traffic flow (obviously) and worst case, you can park IN the golf course but you'll need to get back to pick up your car before 7pm or they'll lock your vehicle in until Sunday when they re-open. Make sense? Just park on the GC side of the road in the safest places you can find when you get there. Here are exact directions. 18 minutes of driving. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/44.2994668,-68.3162221/44.3085287,-68.3003255/@44.3088119,-68.3004109,200m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!4m1!3e0 Running across the east side we have three drops for supplies. At Bubble Rock parking lot you will cross the park loop road and enter the NW Pemetic climb. Immediately after the small wooden bridge (like 10 feet at the start of the trail) there is a huge bolder on the right. There is a bag full of water, gatorade, coca-cola, pretzels, sour patch kids, and whatever else is in there. Refill and head up, just leave the trash in the same bag and we'll pick it up afterwards. After you climb up Pemetic, down Pemetic, you'll get to Bubble Pond at the very start of West Cadillac. There is a garbage bag on the left after you cross the small stream at the start of the trail. Snacks, water, gatorade are in there as well. At the top of the climb there is more aid on top of Cadillac. Behind the gift shop tucked between the building and the Rubbermaid storage shed are two Ultimate Direction bags. There are 6 gatorades, 6 cokes, 1 gallon of water, baggies of sour patch kids, small bags of pretzels, small bags of gold fish, clementines, tailwind, tums and ibuprofen. Rebeccah and John dropped that last night, thanks! Heading off Cadillac, up Dorr, down Schiff trail to the Tarn you'll hit the road. On the right hand side directly across the road from the steps starting up Huguenot is a garbage bag filled with more water, gatorade, individual snacks, etc. After the tarn, there is nothing until the finish line. Which again, will be at Fabbri Parking lot. Looking forward to seeing everyone come through that finish line! https://www.google.com/maps/place/Fabbri/@44.3161229,-68.194955,1131m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m19!1m13!4m12!1m3!2m2!1d-68.3162221!2d44.2994668!1m6!1m2!1s0x4caebda8c9c491f5:0x28894958b6107111!2sNortheast+Harbor,+Maine+04662!2m2!1d-68.3017589!2d44.3005195!3e0!3m4!1s0x4caeb95f98b519d9:0x97d2c1891e4f3800!8m2!3d44.3144891!4d-68.1952795
