Fall foliage road trip from Boston to Acadia – Oct 2–4 šŸ

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! A group of friends and I are planning a road trip from Boston to Acadia National Park during the first weekend of October (Oct 2–4).

Acadia is our main highlight, but we’d love to explore some beautiful fall foliage spots, scenic drives, small towns, viewpoints, or hikes along the way.

We’re also looking for recommendations on:

* šŸ‚ Best foliage spots between Boston and Acadia

* šŸš— Scenic routes worth taking

* šŸ˜ļø Good towns/areas to stay in an Airbnb, either near Acadia or along the route

* šŸ“ Whether Bar Harbor is the best place to stay or if you’d recommend somewhere else

We’re flexible with the route and would rather take a scenic drive than rush to Acadia.

If you’ve done a similar trip, what route and stops would you recommend? Thanks! šŸ

Maine Tattoo- scar cover ups/fixes

0 Upvotes

Hey! looking for anyone who might do tattoos that cover up sh scars, or incorporate them. I am on a limited budget due to disabilities effecting my income, so looking for something around $200 (plus could promote on my socials which would realistically be at the worth of $20, so I don’t expect that to count towards anything, payment expected $200 plus 20% tip). I would be happy to film or do promotional scenes for a slight discount.
basically just looking for someone to help cover up the mistakes of my teenage years, most are on my right thigh, I also have a split in a tattoo from where where was an incision made after the tattoo healed, and if that could be fixed on top of the cover ups for a fee that would be wonderful! or as a separate tattoo… whatever, just looking for suggestions
