Bar Harbor

     We woke to rain this morning (September 27th).  We didn't have to check out of our campsite until noon, so Mark did our laundry while I posted to the blog.  Our afternoon excursion was to Bar Harbor.  We had a delicious lunch at Adelmann's Deli and Grill and were able to sit outside at a picnic table since the rain had passed leaving overcast skies.  After lunch we strolled around town people watching and looking in shop windows.

       Down at the Harbor we walked across the sandbar to Bar Island.  At high tide the sandbar is under 4-8 feet of water, but at low tide you can walk across to the island which is part of Acadia National Park.  We considered hiking the mile long trail to view Bar Harbor from the summit of Bar Island, but decided not to because we still needed to walk back across the sandbar and through the town to where we had parked the truck camper.  I didn't want to over do it again today since we will probably be hiking some more tomorrow on Schoodic Peninsula which is also part of Acadia National Park.
