Maine has not had a hurricane since 1969. The last tropical storm watch was 2008, but it never hit Maine. The last tropical storm to hit Maine was 1991. So of course we are in Maine and Hurricane Lee will be hitting New England, this weekend! We are staying far enough inland that we won’t…

Antique Cars
This week we took a trip to Seal Cove and went to the Seal Cove Auto Museum. It was very nice. There were quite a few cars and a gift shop. It was pouring down rain while we were out, but we still went out for lunch. We went to Bub’s Burritos. This place has…
Acadia Park, not Arcadia Park
We have not been out on any adventures in a couple weeks, so we rented a Acadia Gem EV car to drive through the park. I got 20 percent off, one of the perks of working in Bar Harbor. Plus we could take the dogs with us. We like to do as much as we…
Work
I realize that I have not talked about my seasonal job up here in Maine much since I started, so I will talk about it today. I am considered a customer service representative, but I don’t feel like it is a customer service position. It’s a fun job and I get to meet people everyday…
Projects around our home
My schedule worked out so that I had four days off in a row! I was not complaining about that. We took this as a chance to get some projects done around the camper aka our home. We put up bathroom backsplash, did a wallpaper accent wall in the main living area, washed the camper,…
Sea Princess Cruise
Today we went on the Sea Princess for a nature cruise through the Somes Sound. We left from Northeast Harbor and went past Bear Island, Sutton Island, Cranberry Islands, and Greening Isle. There was a lot of fog when we left, so we didn’t get too many photos. We saw an Osprey Nest that was…
Independence Day/America’s Birthday!
I know I said I wasn’t going to post this week, but something is bothering me. The other day, I was driving into work listening to a “RVer’s” podcast. They were answering a listener’s question. The question was “If I sell my house and move into a fifth wheel, is it cheaper?”. The answer they…
Four hour Trolley Tour
This week we took a four hour tour on a trolley. It went through downtown Bar Harbor and through the 27 mile park loop of Acadia National Park. We had stopped at Sieur de Monts Spring (Wild Gardens of Acadia), Thunder Hole, Jordan Pond, and Cadillac Summit. Sieur de Monts Spring This was our first…
A Scenic Train Ride
This week we took the Downeast Scenic Railroad tour. It was not-so scenic, but it was nice. I love old trains and this was something I wanted to do. It was 12 miles of maintained tracks that were a huge part of Maine railroad history. We went through a “wye” to turn around. It powered…
A sh*tty week (literally)
Last week I mentioned how we were switching sites. Our site was heavily shaded and just was not a good fit for us (it was kind of depressing). There was another couple in an older Airstream that wanted a shadier spot, so we just switched with them. We made the move on Saturday afternoon. We…
