Acadia National Park

After Casco, we headed up the coast a couple hours to Mount Desert Island, most of which is taken up by Acadia National Park.  We had a nice spot in Southeast Harbor for 4 days.  The weather is always changing, seems like a cool front comes through every other day.  However, when it's nice, the views are spectacular.  The park was full over the weekend, so we went up into the hills to a smaller, quieter park on the Penobscot River.  When we got there, the big black rubber gasket that seals off the living room slide out came undone, necessitating a repair.  So, we're back in the Bangor area awaiting an appointment in a couple days to get it replaced.  This is the first time we've had to back track, or wait more than a few hours on a repair.  Oh well, adventures in RV Land.  We're not in a huge hurry, and there's plenty to do here.

Thunder Hole, Acadia National Park.  This is one of those sea caves that goes BOOM when the waves come in

Just a nice, rocky scenic overlook

Craig from Casco makes his own maple syrup.  It goes great on french toast!  I caught Missy licking the jar when I left it too close to the edge of the counter.

The campground had a path leading to nowhere out in the woods, so Missy got some time off the leash.  Here's her best Rin Tin Tin pose.

Beautiful day in Acadia

Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse.  There's a Coast Guard family living in the tender's house, feet from where we're standing.  Not bad duty...in the summer

Mount Katadhin.  The highest point in Maine and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail.

The dam creating the Penobscot River Reservoir.  It was brimming over the top.  From what I can tell, all these dams are slated for removal to restore the nature flow of water to the sea.
