Quote: "...Acadia is allotted only 48,000 acres; the 2.5 million visitors per year have to endure an average of 54 people per acre."
Lacking math skills, author? If you stood in one place ALL YEAR, you'd average seeing 54 people sharing "your" acre. Probably for a few hours each. So you'd have over 300 days of solitude!! If you do the math for the AVERAGE - as stated - it would be about 0.14 people per acre. I assure you Acadia's 2.5 M visitors don't stay there all year.
