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…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

This week we took a sunset cruise on Acadian Boat Tours for our 14 year anniversary. The whole week it was raining and cold and the waters were very choppy, so I did not have high expectations, I really thought it would have been canceled. The rain stopped mid afternoon and the skies started to…

This week on my day off, I took Brian and the dogs to the sand bar. The sand bar is only accessible two hours before low tide and two hours after low tide. It goes from Downtown Bar Harbor to Bar Island (which is part of Acadia National Park). We were there about 2 hours…
