Acadia Natl Park, Baa Haba and More

Yesterday morning we took the truck to the local Ford Truck dealer to be checked out and got a loaner car. What a pleasant surprise as we thought we were going to have to rent a car! We should get the truck back today. (Update - we now have our truck back. No wheel bearing problems - what a relief! Appearantly the noise was coming from the tires.)

We decided, since the day dawned cloudless, it would be a great day to drive to Acadia National Park and the surrounding area including Baa Haba (that's Bar Harbor for those that aren't from this neck of the woods - LOL). Our decision was a good one.

Acadia National Park is really a treat. If you are into hiking or biking, it is a perfect place for you to visit. There are so many hiking trails to choose from and the roads through the park have plenty of room for bikers. The views are breathtaking, but then I love the ocean. I really felt at home again, being by the sea.

I've decided that I'll just post some of the many pictures that I took, with captions, instead of writing about each place. It's just a place that you need to visit to really appreciate.

This was our first view out to sea from Acadia Natl. Park.

Big seagull.

Egg Island Lighthouse - sorry, I zoomed in as far as I could.

Postcard picture - that I took!

You can walk to this island - during low tide.

Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse

Bass Harbor..... tide was very low while we were there.

Hope you enjoyed the tour of Mount Desert Island where Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and Bass Harbor are located.
