RV and other travels around the World
We had heard from a couple of different people that a day trip to Stonington Maine was a must do while here. This quaint little fishing village is located on another peninsula, so to get there you have to drive up and over and around the horn to finally arrive. Well, it was not really that bad, at just less than two hours. And what a beautiful sight it was, but it was a scorcher!… Continue reading “Stonington Maine Trip on a Hot Day”
As we go to a new location, we try to ask as many locals as we can about favorite places and things to do. Just by researching the internet including Trip Advisor and others, we would miss many of the local’s gems. People all have different opinions, so it is great to obtain a good cross section of folk’s ideas. Continue reading “Locals Are a Wealth of Information”
The featured image above was sunrise at our campground on Friday morning.
Two more hikes accomplished in the Acadia National Park! The views from both trails were simply outstanding. While I tried to get some good photos, it just does not capture the grandeur of being here and seeing with your own eyes. In the last three days, we did the Ocean Path Trail and the Wonderland Trail, both hikes in the National Park. And took a day off in between!

Yesterday, we decided to both take the 10 am bus into Bar Harbor. Our goal was to walk the village, take the harbor trail around the rocky harbor ledge, and then find a good Bar Harbor lunch place. It turned out to be a warmer day than we expected with some bright sunshine. After a couple of hours of walking, we were seeking a cool, shady, and maybe breezy place for lunch.

One of the super popular activities here are the multitude of beautiful hikes within the Acadia National Park. We have been here almost a week and no hikes yet. I guess we have been busy doing the normally living stuff: laundry, grocery shopping, and hanging out. It’s time to kick it up a notch.
So I researched about six hikes and selected the Ship Harbor hike as our first.
Since the Acadia parks gets crowded by 9 or 10 am, we left base camp at 8 and arrived at the Acadia NP Ship Harbor Trailhead by 8:30 and thankfully there was plenty of parking for the big red truck. Continue reading “Acadia NP Ship Harbor Trail & Bass Harbor Lighthouse”
Bar Harbor Bus Trip – The weatherman was calling for rain and Pat was busy on some project at the coach, and I was anxious to see the town, so I decided to try the free bus service into Bar Harbor. Not really knowing what to expect, I grabbed an umbrella and walked up to the bus stop. Kind of a daredevil, I know. Continue reading “Bar Harbor Bus Trip”
The Maine coastal areas have been very special so far this summer. We love the small town New England charm and the beautiful, but rocky coastlines. The multitude of little fishing villages that all have some different vibes. On Tuesday, we moved northward one last time for this summer. From the Camden Maine area to the Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park area where we stay for one month! Continue reading “Bar Harbor/Acadia Maine; Our Summer Destination!”
This is the second of two posts from the Penobscot Bay area. We loved the coastal views and the small Maine towns away from the more touristy places. Some more additional highlights: Continue reading “Penobscot Bay Area Part 2; Museums & Lobster”
With our week long stay in Boothbay being over, it was time to migrate northbound again. So we packed up, lifted up the jacks, pulled in the slides, and relocated the rig about an hour north to the Penobscot Bay Area of Maine. It was an easy commute along scenic US Hwy 1! Continue reading “Penobscot Bay Area; Rockland, Rockport, & Camden Maine”
This is the final update from our week at Boothbay Harbor ME. The campground, (Shore Hills), turned out to be a very nice park and the shuttle into town was an added bonus. We did not explore much of the surrounding area, but focused on this harbor town and area close around it. We will definitely return one of these years. Continue reading “Boothbay Harbor ME; Wrap Up”
