This was our bonus day in Maine. We started our exploring day a little earlier to seek out the areas of the island that we missed on the bus tour. Our travels took us through Seal Harbor, Northeast Harbor, along Somes Sound, through Somesville, south to Southwest Harbor, Seawall, Bass Harbor, Bernard, West Tremont, Seal […]
Read more "September 23 – Mount Desert Isle"Another gentle start to a lovely day. We discussed the next few days, talked with the campground staff about local things to see, and opted to add a day here. Lunch was trying out W.A. Bean & Sons Maine Red Snapper Dogs. We found them in a local grocery store, along with Frankfurt Buns – […]
Read more "First Day of Autumn/Exploring Stonington"Today we explored Acadia National Park on Schoodic Peninsula. Thankfully, one of the ladies at the office here in the park told us about this little hidden gem. She suggested that if we enjoyed less congested areas, this might be a spot worth checking out. As far as we are concerned – this spot is […]
Read more "September 21 – Last Day of Summer – A Part of Acadia Not To Be Missed!!!"After a lovely sleep-in morning, we set off to explore Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. Our bus tour started at 1400 hrs., the first stop was atop Mount Cadillac. The view is breathtaking. Mount Cadillac is the highest point on the East Coast shoreline – and the day was perfect – clear and visibility unrestricted. […]
Read more "September 20 – Acadia NP"Very lazy start to today – we didn’t check out of Kokatosi until 1100hrs! Our trip would only take us a couple hours, so no need to push it. Leaving Raymond, we were still on 2-lane roads. This is lovely country to see, but driving can be a little tense – definitely not the flatland […]
Read more "Day 7 – Exciting Stuff (aka – Things We Sometimes Take for Granted)"SIP days are good things. Laundry gets done, the bathroom gets cleaned, minor repairs are attended to – and maybe a few naps are taken. I went out for a walk – committed to 30 minutes power walking – and that plan just flew out the window. Such an incredibly beautiful and inviting morning – […]
Read more "Day 6 – SIP (Stay in Place) Day – Chores and More Friends Time"We left Vermont early, around 0900 hrs. It was a beautiful morning – there was some mist over the mountains, sunshine, and cool temps. We drove through Fairfax and watched the sleepy town wake up for the day. The part we drove through had a pristine little cemetery, streets lined with American Flags, and no […]
Read more "Day 5 – NH Pass-thru and Maine with Friends!"Today was a stay in place day. We decided to explore Smuggler’s Notch State Park hiking trails. Since the three of us are novice hikers, we opted for easy trails. One of our selected locations involved looking for a waterfall. Here is where I should mention that the last time we went hiking and looking […]
Read more "Day 4 – Hiking and Enjoying Vermont"Woke up to a beautiful morning – and celebrated with a 2-mile walk. I discovered this tiny little cemetery with one lone headstone. It was a family cemetery with them sharing the headstone. Also encountered these lovely sunflowers. We pulled out of the campground at 0930 hrs. and headed east on 401. Ontario is […]
Read more "Day 3 – Back in the USA!!!"Lovely sunny start to the day – and we rolled out of the campground at 1015 hrs. The truck alerted us to a trailer wiring fault – we pulled off the road to check connections to discover that our emergency brake cable had been activated – which accounted for a very noticeable burning rubber smell […]
