We got to Bass Harbor RV Park and headed out right away. We walked about 1/2 mile to see our first lighthouse and hang out on the rocky shore after the drive. We were there for a little over a week, did several hikes, went whale watching, drove the Cadillac Road bike road on the Carriage Roads and got rained in for a couple days by hurricane Ida. The rocky shore was beautiful, the hikes were great, and we got to hang out with a humpback whale named Nine and her 6th known calf named Bubbles for about an hour, as the calf played and rolled around the boat. Nine hung out below, only surfacing once (on the other side of the boat) but you can see the white spot on her belly below the water’s surface. Acadia was not what we were expecting geographically, being broken up by privately owned land and towns, there were sections of the park, but then hikes off of a state highway. Not a big deal, just not what we’re used to for National Parks. Bar Harbor is a really cute town, but very difficult to navigate with a large truck. During Ida, we had a bit too much time on our hands and made a deal on a new camper. We had been looking at several models, but decided to stick with the same model we have, just 5 years newer. We will pick it up next weekend.
