Acadia: Arrival (sorry, no pictures)


The end of our drive took us along Route 1 from Brunswick to Bar Harbor on Mt. Desert Island, the locale of most of Acadia National Park.  The ride was slower than if we’d taken the interstate but it was worth the pastoral seaside views.

We set up our campsite in the park and went back to Bar Harbor.  Its plethora of sports stores, ice cream shoppes, and Christmas boutiques reminded us of a cross between Banff and Jasper in Alberta.  The sea views were stunning.  We had a decent, though a bit overpriced dinner at the Fish House Grill.

After a short trip to the local grocery store we had a small campfire and toasted some marshmallows before crawling into the tent for the night.  Beautiful star gazing tonight.
