Down East Ride 2008

Down East Ride 2008
A two week motorcycle trip from New York to New Brunswick, June 2008. On the way to Mount Desert Island, Maine, for field work, I check in at the Laconia Motorcycle Week, ride Mount Washington and the Kancamagus Highway, tour the White and Green Mountains, and eat lots of tasty lobster.

$The next day I begin 10 days of field study in Acadia National Park. Each morning I ride my motorcycle to a different trailhead, and hike in to the backcountry to take measurements of the fractures and their orientations.$

$One of the many diabase dikes cutting the granite. The more abundant fractures in the dike illustrate their different mechanical properties.$
