Sunset Point Campground – July 15th-18th
So far the best small campground we have been in! Low key, quiet, great campers and a great host. We met a few people that we enjoyed talking with but Kristi and Steve became fast friends, hopefully we will meet up in Arizona this winder!
A better hike, East Coast style – July 14th
We camped near Acadia National Park because everything we read said there were a lot of great hiking trails in the park. And we think we found the best, a loop to Sargent and Penobscot Mountains. With a sunny morning calling, we packed our lunch, filled our Camelbacks, donned our hiking duds, and set off […]
The Acadia Ride
Our bike shorts have extra padding, kind of like a sewn-in diaper, but only for absorbing road->butt forces. We wear special shirts to wick the sweat and special gloves to prevent road rash if we fall. We outfitted our helmets with two-way communicators that also connect to our cell phone for music, GPS directions, and […]
Mt. Desert Narrows RV Park – Acadia NP – July 12th-14th
Acadia National Park, which is a very busy and popular place to visit in the summer. What goes with that is crowded RV parks and a crowded touristy town, Bar Harbor. Bar Harbor also hosts cruise ships. Our first day we got set up and walked around the campground then went for a great lobster […]
July 12th – Berlin, NH to Mt. Desert Campground, ME
After spending a day and night at the Ford Dealership in Berlin we are on the road again. Two thumbs up to the Berlin Ford Dealership, they were terrific. Great customer service. We had Exhaust Temperature Sensors going bad, we had one replaced at a Ford Dealership about a week ago it was covered under […]
Repairs and other tricks – Berlin Ford – July 12th
We camped last night in a Ford dealer’s parking lot. After we compared it to the state park nearby with its tight corners, unlevel sites and no hookups, we came back and asked if we could “camp” here and plug in a power cord. The trade-off was one weighing the risk of highway noise by […]
MT. Washington, NH – Cog Train Up, Hike Down!
Sometimes our roles intertwine. We are tourists. We are hikers. We are genetically wired to avoid pain. So the idea of taking a train up the tallest mountain in New Hampshire and hiking back down makes perfect sense. The Way Up The Mount Washington Cog Railway was built in 1869, making it the oldest of its […]
White Mountains, NH, Dry Creek Campground July 8th-10th
Well we are both feeling a little punky today so we took care of laundry and a few other things, then we set off to find bandwidth as there is no bandwidth of any kind at the campsite. We are sitting on this lovely porch looking out at Mt, Washington, taking care of business!
Onto the White Mountains, NH – July 8th
Travel day,
