Quirk Dodge

26 August

Quirk Dodge determined that the RV needs a part that will be coming from Boston tomorrow, so by 10:30 we were headed to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.  First stop was up to Cadillac Mountain, which is the highest point on the US Atlantic seaboard, and is the first place you can see sunshine in the USA due to its elevation of 1,528 feet.  It would have been great to see the view, but we were up in the clouds and couldn’t see much at all.  Typical for us.  (As an aside, it was sunny in Town Hall when we left, but as we headed towards the road to Cadillac, it clouded up again.)  After going up the mountain to see what we could see, we drove the park loop.  The NP has made the majority of the loop one way, which is really nice because the single two way lanes are now one lane with passing lanes and easy pull outs.  Plus the road has been recently paved.  Since we got a really late start, parking for hiking was a challenge, so we might make the 45 minute tomorrow if the repair doesn’t take too long.

After the park we went down to Bar Harbor and walked the town.  The town is quaint and touristy.  From there we went to Atlantic Brewery, which is a micro-brewery that had a tour and sampling.  We also had an early supper there.

Who knows what will happen with the clock and RV tomorrow.
