Wednesday 9/23 – Saturday 9/26
A MUCH easier border crossing! A few questions, a peek into the trailer and we were on our way. We have decided to head to Acadia National Park. After a late lunch in Eastport, (yes, one more lobster roll!), we set up camp in Cobscook State Park (we stayed here on the way north). We were able to camp right on the water this time. What a beautiful view we had out the front door.
We were not sure we would be able to get a campsite in Acadia National Park, but we were lucky! It has been 30 years since we camped in Acadia, so it was a re-introduction. Our first hike was on a ranger led tour of the Bridges of Rockefeller’s Carriage Road. This is 57 miles of automobile free roads. Our tour focused on 2 of the 17 granite faced bridges. Great tour!
We next drove to the summit of Cadillac Mountain. It was a very windy, cold day. We spent very little time walking (really, being blown around) outside. I did get a few decent pictures.
Saturday morning we walked to the shore of Otter Cove (just a short distance from the campground). Mark found a fishing shack that appears to be privately owned, but in the park. He also took a great picture of one of the granite faced bridges.
We lunched in Bar Harbor, joined by the passengers of two cruise boats that were in port!!

I think that it has actually been longer than 30 years since you have been to Acadia. As legend goes, i've only been there in utero.
