The Porcupine of Damocles

Okay, so I'm not on the motorcycle, and not in the airplane.  We're hiking along the Anvil trail in the Schoodic portion of Acadia National Park.  The kids are ahead, and my son notices, perched right over the trail, a porcupine.  He stops my daughter from going under, then takes these videos.  At the end, notice that we take another path.

As you can see at the end, we went another way....
