Monday - September 24

Our address tonight is the Forest Ridge Campground, 40 Flockamoosen Way, Ellsworth, Maine.   We traveled 101 miles from Boothbay to here.    Stopped in Belfast for lunch at Wasses Hot Dogs for delicious kraut dogs with over 5 million sold.   Saw one of these a few days ago - good stop and a little break from lobster!    Ha!

Just a spectacular day with temps in the 50's and lots of sunshine!    And so enjoyed more fall color as we headed north.    Antique shops are abundant up here in Maine and just town after town with so much charm (they all have a white framed church with tall steeple).  Drove to Acadia National Park (about 25 miles) with gorgeous scenery.    Lots of people at the top of Cadillac Mountain, but oh my....what views!!!   Did a bit of trekking while we were up there and then off to Bar Harbor.     We were here 6 years ago, but it is so touristy with many T-shirt/souvenir shops    The big cruise ships come here and when those tourists come into town....crowded sidewalks, shops, etc.    Walked around and just enjoyed the beautiful day.    Mark bought a T-shirt and then back to Flo around 6:15.

Here are some pics from today...

Our neighbors we met this morning.  Joan and Ron spend the winter in Naples
We saw these wrapped bales of hay in Vermont and again today - they look like big marshmallows (the campfire size) 
Good lunch spot with yummy kraut dogs
