Acadia is beautiful. We were there a few years ago on one of our trips home to Maine.

There's a lot of "lore" that goes along with a groover ( aka honey bucket) The trainee guides are the ones that get to pack it on their boats, that is the lowest guys in the pecking order. There is the discussion of "great view" over "privacy" for locating. Most groover had a little book that would go with it, for people to write down thier thoughts for the day etc.
The principal, as SK said, is to pack out solid human waste. When you have a group of people toileting in the same area, digging a latrine is unacceptable. For rivers especially where you have different groups using the same beach night after night, it's unthinkable. Packing out human waste is a legal requirement for many kinds of guided trips, it can be a part of the permit requirements.2015 Liv Intrigue 2
