Steve and Cathy: WorldTour Part I -- AMERICA: 8/29-9/29 Narrows Too, Trenton, ME

This is an Encore/Thousand Trails park right on the water. Although our campsite isn't on the water, we can walk down during low tide to see all the muck whenever we want. Then when the tide comes in, we can't see any of the boulders we could see 12 hours earlier. What a difference!

Bar Harbor city park

We drove through Acadia National Park, which is just across the bridge from us, on Mount Desert Island. Bar Harbor is a cute village on the Island.

Fair Produce

Sheep Dog Trials

Truck pull

We took a trip to the Blue Hill Fair, where we were able to see the truck/tractor pull (very loud and smoggy), the sheep dog trials, and the skillet toss. Cathy really should have entered the skillet toss, which measured length but deducted the distance from the straight line. The sheep dog trials were very interesting, and really tested the dogs. The sheep had never worked with a dog before, and were very belligerant and nasty. One puppy just dropped and peed. Several of the sheep made an escape under the fence, and many people spent time herding them back. One of the dogs bit the wool and hung on, but lost points for it.

Jacob Sheep - 4 horns!

Cathy flew to Omaha for niece Michaela's wedding to Vinson. While she was visiting family, Steve met the neighbor, Chuck and rode bikes in Acadia for a week.

another carriage bridge

We took several trips around Acadia National Park, including Cadillac Mountain ( pink granite that the island is made from), Thunder Hole, and the Carriage roads. The carriage roads are closed to motorized traffic, and were designed so that the rich could travel to each others vacation cottages without mixing with the riff raff.

We also took a trip across the bay to Schoodic Penninsula, which is also part of the National Park, but newer.

Too True!!!!

"Beach"

We took a trip on the Downeast Scenic Rail Road, which was just up the road. We also spent some time with our RV neighbors, Chuck and Paula, eating lunch out, having fires, eating in, and watching the lunar eclipse. As we were heading out, Paula made us pancakes for the road!!!
