August Trip: Destination 4 — Acadia National Park, Maine

One month ago, Johnnie and I were at our fourth major destination, Acadia National Park, Maine, USA.  Coming back into the US was just as easy as leaving it.  The Customs Agent said “Welcome home” to us.  Johnnie and I have traveled outside of the country before — 2 trips to the Bahamas and a 10-day pilgrimage to Haifa, Israel — and I’m sure we were welcomed back into the country, but this time it just had a different ring. 

We stayed at Narrows, Too campground in Trenton, Maine.  Our site faced the water.  Actually faced is not the correct word. It felt like we were on the water.  When there was water.  Twice a day there was lots of water in front of us and twice a day there was mud and rocks in front of us.

It was a full moon when we were there and the moon shone so brightly on the water that Johnnie was able to get a clear picture of the moonlight on the water from the front window of the RV.

Acadia National Park was beautiful.  We drove through the park and stopped at various outlooks to take pictures.

 We drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain, the first place to get sunlight within the US each day.  Since we were only visiting once, we did not take any of the hikes or ride on the miles of carriage trails on our bikes.  Acadia is definitely a place to revisit.
