Third Boxcar, Midnight train, Destination, Bangor,Maine!

Chris in Bar Harbour, having lunch
Hi all, "King of the Road"  Ha Ha.  That song has been rattling in my head ever since we settled into a campsite about 30 minutes out of Bangor Maine.  We didn't even spend any time in the town.  We are in a campsite called the Pumpkin Patch.    Anyway, it is only a short drive to the coast of Maine here, so we went to Bar Harbour, a seaside resort that was a place for the elite in the early days, the Rockerfellers, etc.  Beside that is the Acadia National Park.  They have a shuttle bus that drives you around the circle drive for free, so we did that because there were a lot of folks in the park today.  It is Sunday afternoon, and the last day of freedom for the elementary children, they start school tomorrow!  Yikes, we have been gone a while.  Kids were still in school when we left. 

We had a nice lunch at a seaside restaurant, then a tour and home.  It was a gorgeous day, sunny and warm.
View from our Restaurant, note a cruise ship was in, another reason for lots of people around





The Rugged coastline of the Acadian National Park.

This area is beautiful, as you can see.  The country side is rolling hills covered with mixed forrest.  Lots of granite around.  The colors will be great in about 3 weeks, I bet.

Til next time.

  4. I had been wondering too if you had fun drinking all the booze! Lol. We are in Lubec the next two nights and since you liked the Pumpkin Patch we made reservations there for the long weekend. Going to Campobello tomorrow.

  5. Sorry, guess I left you all hanging about the booze! haha. We had some beer and about 1/3 bottle of bourbon left, and the customs officer didn't even ask about alcohol. He did, however, take a tomato, a 1/3 pepper, a 1/2 a lemon and 2 apples from the fridge. Oh well, he was pleasant about it!
