Hanging with the Main-e-acs

Acadia National Park is one of the most popular and busiest vacation spots on the East Coast. The park has just two campgrounds (although there are many private parks on Mount Desert Island (MDI)....you should make a reservation waaaay in advance if you want to assure yourself a place to stay. WE DIDN'T. Until about a week before we were headed up. We got 3 nights with the promise we could check back daily for cancellations. This is fine with us, we are flexible, right? RIGHT. Blackwoods Campground is beautiful....our spot #82 was a pull through....no electric water or sewer, but for $10.00 a night, we were thrilled.

 

Our very nice spot

 

 

 

There's been a lot of rain, but it is still so pretty. This is the entry gate to Blackwoods.

 

 

free transportation all over the island on these buses powered by propane!

 

 

The sun came out and our solar worked like a champ. We spent four days AND nights here and our battery remained fully charged. Hooray!!!

 

 

 

Our first day we went into Bar Harbor for...

 

 

 

....this lobster Cobb salad....

 

 

 

...and this burger. We remembered from last year and we were not disappointed!

I re- visited the tea shop....got more good tea, a teapot and a cozy!

Bar Harbor has to be one of the most picturesque places in America.

 

This is where we ate

 

 

The flowers were gorgeous

 

 

lots and lots of good places to eat...and drink😊;-)

 

 

Bar Harbor Episcopal Church, bell tower, cemetery and Civil War Monument...love the stone wall in the left foreground.

Tomorrow, we take you on a walk to the rocky coast of Maine. YOU WILL LOVE IT!
