Perhaps in honor of our National Parks, General Motors has named their new SUV-like crossover, the Acadia, (17/25 mpg) in honor of the Maine treasure - following in the footsteps of their other trucks and SUV's like the GMC Denali, Yukon, and Chevrolet Colorado.
Acadia National Park's 57 mile car-less carriage road network, entirely independent of the motorized vehicle roads, was conceived before 1920 by those who saw an impending conflict with nature and the rapidly expanding use of the automobile.
Maine residents and summer visitors alike donated their time and resources to preserve Acadia's beauty. George B. Dorr and Charles W. Eliot, a former president of Harvard University, saw danger of development and acted to avoid them. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., also played a critical role. He built the carriage roads and gave more than 11,000 acres, about one-third of the park's area, to what became known as Acadia National Park. acadia.national-park.com
