Aug 17, 2012 - We're Still in Maine

We are just north of Bar Harbor (bahaba), getting our fill of Lobstah and wild Maine Blueberries. Took a side trip to the most eastern point in the US last Wednesday. The pictures show, we were hit with fog. Seems that's what we find when we are anywhere close to water in Canada, one mile off the coast, it was nice and sunny. (My captions on the photos were lost and didn't download so will try to fill in) Eastport is the most eastern "city" in the US (the white lighthouse is in Canada, that's how close we were) and Lubec is the most eastern...

Oct 5, 2011 - Narrows Too RV

Great RV Park. We had a nice view of the water. Went to Acadia National Park and talked to a young couple from Switzerland. Ate some lobster which for $5 more they take it out of the shell. She brought me some muscles by accident so ate about half of those. I am not a big lobster eater but had to try since in Maine.

Sep 26, 2010 - Trenton, ME

Stayed at Narrows Too Campground. Decided to stay for a week because it was cheaper. Went for lobster dinner the first night. Guys said it was okay. Drove through Acadia State Park. Really beautiful.Tried to drive up to Cadillac Mountain but it was too foggy to see anything. Drove to Bangor with Ron & Jac for the day. Jac and I went for a haircut at Walmart - the worst haircut I have ever had. Went to another salon to try to fix it. It was a little better:) Elaine went too. Good thing we stayed a few days longer - big storm coming up the...

Aug 8, 2010 - Trenton, (Bar Harbor), Maine

Sunday August 8th – Trenton, Maine Today was just a driving day. There was no interstate so it took 7hrs with a quick lunch & one gas stop, 268 miles. Arrived to a nice park where nearby is a large L.L. Bean Outlet & a Super Walmart! What else could one possibly need! This location is the staging area to start our Maritime Province Tour on Fri. Met up with a new couple from Houston in a Country Coach/Prevost, our Oregon couple & the lady traveling alone in her B class. So far only 4 rigs have arrived. Then there was the sudden curve in...

Aug 4, 2010 - Timberland Acres RV Park, Trenton, ME

We had quite a thunderstorm during the night, but by late this morning it had cleared up and was sunny the rest of the day. Larry and Debbie went back to Acadia to see Cadillac Mountain, which they didn't get to see yesterday. Dan and I stayed home and I did some laundry and checked out campgrounds where we might stay the next few nights. We went to Ruth & Wimpy's Restaurant for lunch at the recommendation of our campground neighbor, Bob. It was quite an interesting place, and we had a lobster roll and fried clams, which were very good....

Aug 3, 2010 - Timberland Acres RV Park, Trenton, ME

Today was a long day. The Goodmans were up and out before we even got out of bed so they could try and see the falcons in Acadia National Park and hear the park ranger’s talk at the top of Cadillac Mountain at 10:30am. We left the campground at 11:00am and headed for the park Visitor’s Center. While waiting in line to buy a geezer pass for Dan (lifetime senior pass to all the national parks), I noticed one of my high school classmates, Margaret Hall. She and her husband were just two people ahead of us in line. What a small world! They have...

Aug 2, 2010 - Pumpkin Patch RV Resort, Hermon, ME to Timberland Acres RV Park, Trenton, ME

Larry and Debbie pulled out of the Pumpkin Patch about 10:15 this morning. As usual, we’re running about an hour behind them and left at 11:35. But it’s actually been working out quite well because Debbie texts me to give us a heads-up when there’s a traffic problem or road construction ahead – like today, there was a lot of bad and bumpy construction along Route 1A. We finally arrived at Timberland Acres RV Park at about 12:45pm. The Goodmans had already left in their car to do some exploring when we arrived. We met our neighbor in the...

Jun 26, 2010 - Trenton, ME - Final

Thursday we got up and decided to do the "I wonder how many miles we can put on Libby today?" tour. We started by going back over the auto loop in Acadia and went directly to Thunder Hole hoping to catch it with higher water and a louder "BOOM." Well, the water was too high and the hole completely under water so no sound whatsoever. :( We decide to come back on Saturday morning so that we could catch it a couple of hours before high tide. Hopefully that will work. We then went around to Jordan Pond again to walk the Nature Trail. At 10:00...

Jun 23, 2010 - Trenton, ME - Timberland Acres RV Park

It was a fairly nice 99 mile trip across Maine to get to Trenton which is just above Acadia National Park. The first 24 miles was that bad section of road we took to Greenville but the rest of it was good for the most part though there were two short sections between Bangor and here where there was no pavement, just pot-holed dirt as they are repaving those sections. Timberland Acres is a very large campground with 232 sites of which 172 are full hookup and 70 of those very long pull-throughs. We have 50 amps and good Verizon coverage. The...

Aug 30, 2009 - Some Rain - Some Sunshine

Yesterday, it rained steadily all day long with no let up until around midnight. Both John and I were still feeling yucky so it was the perfect day to stay home and do nothing. We listened to radio, read, napped and worked on puzzles - and listened to the rain pinging on the roof. A perfect day. -- Today we both feel fine and the rain has gone away and left us with a cool but sunny day. The temp is around 78 degrees this afternoon with just a slight breeze off the water which is wonderful. -- This weekend, I got an extra bonus. John bought...

Jul 8, 2009 - Trenton, ME

The purpose of our stop was to visit Acadia National Park and as much additional Maine coast as possible. Acadia occupies about half of Mount Desert Island, first discovered in 1604 by Samuel de Champlain and named after the bare granite mountains. Our first trip into the park was to drive up 1530 foot Cadillac Mountain to walk over the granite rocks viewing the surrounding islands and ocean. The Park is amazingly pristine with the number of visitors. People come here to enjoy nature through the many choices of activities and seem to really...

Jun 10, 2008 - We've Arrived in Trenton, Maine

We got up a little late this morning but then drove 180 miles and reached Trenton, Maine and the Narrows Too Resort. We called our bosses, Millie & Karl Schumacher, and let them know we would be in today. Karl just told us our site number and said just to get set up. I didn't bother to unpack everything yet as we still have to get an estimate on getting the fifth wheel fixed from our little incident with a tree. The campground is beautiful and looks like what you would expect Maine to look like. The weather is really nice today!
