Too difficult

Lynn_D, Oct 2025

Obtain a map of the Acadia national Park first. Listen to all of the audios and map how you want to proceed through the park. Listening to the audio, looking for the road signs, and checking the map to make sure you are in sync with the audio all while you are driving, does not work.

Response from Host, Oct 2025
