Friday - August 31

We are in Trenton, ME at the Timberland Acres RV Park.....it was 130 miles from Robbinston to here and after checking in, we took off for Bar Harbor, 11 miles away.    It's a happening place and although there are some nice clothing/gift shops, the majority are touristy.   There are lots of neat inns and B and B's and people (most we've seen in weeks)!!!
 
I shopped for a while and then we drove to Acadia National Park - it started to rain.....(was supposed to be 84 and sunny....didn't happen)!    We went to the top of Cadillac Mountain with 360 degree views - beautiful; but VERY WINDY and raining.    Drove on the 27-mile Loop Road with great scenery!
 
We didn't realize there are 3 cruise ships that come into Bar Harbor each day!    Many restaurant choices, too, but we went with Poor Boy Gourmet which Brooke's parents (Bob and Judy) had highly recommended for an early dinner!    It was very good!   I had scallops and Mark, the haddock.
 
Our neighbors at the park last night were from Arizona.    We noticed he was exercising and lifting weights yesterday and Mark and I commented that he's the FIRST person we've seen exercising at any RV park all summer.    While we were doing "our thing" this morning, this man was walking his dog and stopped and said "You 2 are the first people we've seen all summer exercising"!!!!    They've been traveling for 2.5 months and now heading up into Canada.
 
Here are some pictures from Acadia National Park

Evening Pat: Glad you enjoyed Poor Boy's Gormet and Acadia. We did the Loop road too and some of the scenery looking down at the water was just beautiful. Your second picture from top is almost exactly like one that we took. The day we were there we saw fishermen checking their lobster traps and just sat there watching them. It was very interesting just how they go about checking their traps. Safe travels and have a nice Labor Day weekend. Love, JudyB
