| Leaving New Brunswick on
Saturday, we backtracked to Calais (pronounced Cuh-lay' by the French and
Cal'-us by the Americans) where we re-entered Maine via Highway 191.
It was one of the worst roads we've encountered. We settled into Hadley's Point
Campground near Bar Harbour, Maine and, after a tour of the town, decided
that we would attend the First Congregational Church of Christ in
town. Of note here is that Ann cooked a Petit Jean ham for dinner
that night with purple hull peas, turnip greens and cornbread. Bet
nobody else in that whole campground had a meal like that! |
|
| The church service was
delightful and the people were friendly. |
|
| Signs like this could be seen
everywhere and the lobster was straight out of the water. Yum! |
|
| On Monday, July 30 we had an
almost-eventful move to Acadia/Blackwoods Campground campground within the
park. We encountered an overpass that we couldn't drive Bubba under,
as it was only 10 feet and 4 inches, so we had to take an alternate road
to Seal Harbor where we had to unhook the truck and turn around to reach
the campground. But, once we reached the , we settled into a
beautiful campsite for four nights. Of course, being within the
park, there were no hookups so we would have to run our generator for a
short time daily to keep our batteries charged. We had some fine
campfires and lots of good conversation around them. |
|
| In many national parks, dogs are
not permitted on the trails. Acadia is an exception so Harley got to
go on several hikes. It is so wonderful to visit a state that loves
their dogs! |
|
| Our hike, on this day, was on
Bubble Rock Trail where the overlooks were spectacular. |
 |
| Bubble Rock seems to hang
precariously on the edge, ready to go over at any moment; however, it's
been in that same spot for many, many years. |
