Cadillac Summit Road to close for road work November 14th, 2022
The three-and-a-half-mile
Designed by the Bureau of Public Roads between 1929-32, Cadillac Mountain Road is an extraordinary example of construction in a mountainous terrain. The road maintains a positive grade for its entire length and includes spiral transition curves, which were an adaptation from the old railroad route up the mountain, to give a smoother ride between the road's straight and curved sections. Guardrails were fashioned by spacing three-to-four-foot angular coping stones along the edge of the road approximately four feet apart.

Road work to begin October 11, 2022 on Park Loop Road at Acadia National Park
A paving project for the Park Loop Road, Sieur De Monts Spring entrance road, and Old Farm Road will kick off this fall. Paving of the Park Loop Road will begin on October 11, and will start at Sand Beach Entrance Station and go to the end of the one-way at Stanley Brook Road. The paving project will begin with prep work, including the grinding of transitions and milling occurring within the first two weeks. Paving is scheduled for the last two weeks of October. Striping will occur in November after paving has been completed. The project’s timeline is dependent on the weather.
There will be temporary lane closures and some temporary restrictions for parking in the right lane on the Park Loop Road. The project at Sieur De Monts Spring will consist of the insertion of a culvert and paving at the entrance road. Work at Old Farm Road will consist of paving. Visitors should expect possible traffic delays due to traffic management. Visitors should use caution and maintain a safe speed when approaching equipment and crews. Please plan accordingly and pack your patience as the park works to accomplish this necessary and critical preservation work. Visitors are encouraged to check the park’s website for current conditions and other park information.
Additionally, the Cadillac Summit Road will close for the season in early November to accommodate culvert replacement on the Cadillac Summit Road, with paving to follow in the spring. Final dates and details for the Cadillac culvert and paving project will be released as soon as they are available.

Remembering Southwest Harbor Fire 5 (Ret) Captain Harold Hall
Southwest Harbor Fire 5 (Ret) Captain Harold Hall, signed off this morning.
He retired “some years” back but he always kept in touch and he never missed the chance to gab your ear off on the street or from across the room of a local eatery. You could always count on him to be sitting on Main Street cheering his SWHBR Fire and Tremont Fire families on, at every parade.
Harold loved his Fire Service family and we loved him back.
To try and capture Hal’s big Rockville Centre, New York personality and everything he did before he retired here (eons ago) in 1985 would be impossible. He will be missed by everyone that knew him.

Welcome to the Chamber!
Please join us in welcoming new Chamber member, Ambergris Voyages! Patrick and Erin have an exciting sailing adventure in store for you!
"The Ambergris was designed by famed navel architect Tom Colvin and based on a Pinky Schooner, a New England boat that was used in the 1800's for fishing and hauling cargo. She's 60 feet on deck and about 80 feet overall. Her wide deck and pilot house let guests enjoy sailing in any weather. Below, she has a galley, three private guest cabins and a separate crew quarters. The cabins are designed with removable bulkheads to allow space depending on our needs.
"Nobody gets bored aboard the Ambergris! There are plenty of lines to pull and everyone is welcome to help sail the ship. "Liming" (Caribbean slang for chilling out with friends) is also encouraged.
"Safety is our top priority and we carry all of the necessary equipment required for offshore sailing.
"We only take 6 passengers so there is plenty of room to spread out and make yourselves comfortable."
You can learn more on their web site: https://www.ambergrisvoyages.com/charter-the-ambergris - and like them on facebook!
