			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So Tom pointed me to [some photos](http://www.bowdoin.edu/~ltoma/honors05-pics/Sites.html) from the good old days working long hours in the computer science lab at Bowdoin. I guess I always thought I was a pretty chill/normal CS kid but the truth is in the photos and I&#8217;m not going to lie, we look like total dorks. Tom&#8217;s going to kill me for putting this up here but it&#8217;s a nice segue into what we&#8217;re both doing now.</p>
<p>This past winter Tom and I went into the web consulting biz together under the company Adventex Design which I started back in 2000. Currently we&#8217;re working on some top secret projects which we hope you&#8217;ll be hearing about soon <img src='http://www.jontodd.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  If you or someone you know has some programming talent and experience with web applications we&#8217;d be interested in chatting with you.</p>

She drove the first 4 hours and I drove the next 3.5 hours to arrive on Mount Desert Island just in time for sunrise at 5:15am. No we weren&#8217;t pulling an all nighter just to see the sunrise, we painfully drove through the night for a better chance at getting a camp site in the Sea Wall Campground which is first come first serve.<span id="more-89"></span></p>
<p>Upon arriving we found that there were numerous campsites availible however after closer inspection they were all very cramped! Either you had to sleep in a tent a short walk away from the car (Loop D) or you had to stay in your vehicle in 10X5 spot (Loop C). Not too desireable for a week&#8217;s long car camp. We threw a cooler in decent spot, hopped in the bed in the back of the van and slept and hour and a half before being awakend by a ranger checking cars in the lot. We slept a bit more and then went to the ranger station for opening.The ranger told us there was one spot left in Loop B, B6 to be exact, which was a car camping type spot and that was enough for us to decide to go for that. We were pleasantly suprised with how nice and convienet it was. Plenty of space, easy access to the car and not surrounded by neighbors. There was even a great and secluded spot to setup a hammock.</p>
<p>Highlights of the trip were hanging out with Christine and Hannah, playing with Gracie (their dog), hiking the precipise trail which pretty much goes up the side of cliff, climbing right along the ocean at otter cliffs with Dan McGrath, Nelly and Quenton and biking on the extensive carridge roads.</p>
<p>If I were to do it again I think I would get a campground on the eastern side of the island closer to most of the attractions like the blackwoods campground as we typically had to drive/bus at least 30 minutes to get anywhere of real interest. Also we rented bikes instead of bringing them and that acutally worked really well. $15 bucks was worth not having the hassle&#8230; well I don&#8217;t even have a bike so it had to be.</p>
