In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor






















































Today we took a bus trip to Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor, it was the first event on our RV caravan trip to the Canadian Maritime Provinces. We went up Cadillac Mountain which is the first place in the USA to see daylight half of every year. No, we were NOT there at 4:45am to see it. It's the tallest mountain on the east coast until you get down to Rio de Janeiro, so we were told. You can see the sand bar at low tide, this is where Bar Harbor gets its name We also saw Thunder Hole but today it was calm and more like Hummer Hole. Water comes into a natural opening and cave in the rocks and can put on a good show during a storm. We stopped at a restaurant/gift shop and had some locally made Blueberry soda, one was enough. At the turn of the century the two round top mountains visible from the outside dining area were rather “risqué”. Not now…..boob hills.
We then were dropped off in Bar Harbor for a couple hours for lunch & to explore. Moose are popular and you can see that Judy found a friend in a shop & there was even one on a rooftop by the park.
