Happy Day

Today we headed north on our annual visit to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.  We left around 9:20, 59* and cloudy.  We got breakfast at McDonalds and hit the road at 9:43.  Wendy suggested we stop at the Wild Grace Farm, across from Lake St. George State Park in Liberty, ME.  She is familiar with it because they carry her products.

We arrived at noon, 64*, looked around spotting the Beedandy items and sending pictures back to Wendy. They carry local meat and veggies, as well as other Maine made products and have a small cafe.  Bill bought Bixby sea salted caramels and we ordered apple, cheddar and honey paninis, along with a side of fruit. 

There were tables available outside, so we picked one and waited for our order to be called.  The food was very good but there were a lot of bees, drawn to the sweet honey, no doubt.  We were done and back on the road by 12:45.

We stopped at the McDonalds in Ellsworth for iced coffees at 1:58. The line was around the building and we didn't get going until 2:12.  Stopped to get gas ($2.89) at Dysarts.

We arrived in the area of Edgewater at 2:37, too early to check in, so took a ride through the park.  Oh My God...hordes of people, everywhere!  I had been reading on FB all summer about how crowded it was. Well...they weren't kidding.  We drove along the Loop Road, which was very foggy and then into town, also incredibly crowded.  I was very disheartened to see so many people.  

We arrived at Edgewater at 4:10, were unpacked and settled by 6:00. 

4:48 pm, 63*, overcast

Bill spotted a bald eagle in the tree across the cove, which we watched for several minutes.  We snacked on pretzels and pub cheese, had crab cakes and salad for dinner. I took a shower, washed and dried my hair and we watched an episode of Yellowstone.

Thanks for stopping by...
