We have been on the road for six days and are currently staying in Winter Harbor, Maine.  We are staying in a wonderful, comfy room called the Crow's Nest. The room has a stunning view out to the bay and the ocean. 

Let me give you a recap of our days so far... on Tuesday we landed at the airport in Trenton, just outside of Acadia National Park. We arrived by a small, 33 passenger plane from Boston. The flight turned out to be amazing! There must be hundreds of tiny islands off the coast of Maine and since it was so clear and we were flying low, we had a fantastic view.  Upon arrival at the airport, we received our boxed gear.

Phil worked diligently to put it together and off we went! (I will take get a photo of Phil with the trailer). 

We have spent the first six days of our trip in Acadia National Park.  We spent the first two days around the eastern part of Mt. Desert Island, including riding along many miles of the carriage roads.

This photo is at Jordan Pond, where we had lunch.  (I'm not actually squatting to pee, just reaching into my pack and posing at the same time!)










Next we headed to the southern part of the park and camped in Seawall.... so beautiful!  We did, however, end up with many unwanted guests - MOSQUITOS! The little terrorists literally swarmed us as soon as we entered our campsite!  We retreated in defeat to our tent both nights as soon as possible.  

Luckily, we still enjoyed the area. The photo below is  the spot where we had breakfast.

We left the campground and decided to head to Bar Harbor for dinner instead, via the terrific, free bus service offered throughout the park.  At the Side Street Café we enjoyed a pitcher of margaritas with our lobster wraps.

On Saturday we left Seawall to head towards the Schoodic Peninsula. Phil had read that the peninsula is one of the best kept secrets of Acadia. Indeed it is!

On the way to Schoodic, we stopped in Sullivan for the night at a very nice campground on Route 1.
Sunday we arrived in Winter Harbor and have booked a very comfortable room at the Main Stay Cabins.  Our room is at the top of the house and has a killer view - pictured below.  (okay, so you can't see the entire bay and out to the ocean in this photo, but trust me, we can!)

 

 We'll post again as soon as we can....
