Maine II

A note about fall leaves: Meant to mention in last post that once we drove out of NH, the leaves had not 

changed color here, in Maine.  Obviously, this is due to an abundance of pine trees, but potentially, Maine's geographic 

variables.   Now that we've been here for almost 9 days, we are noticing that the leaves are just beginning to 

change to their Fall colors.

What a fantastic area and great place to have stayed.  The Schoodic Peninsula and specifically Winter Harbor has

been spectacular.  The campground "Main Stay Cottages & RV Park" is a hidden gem!  So peaceful, quiet with 

only 10 sites, all with views of the Winter Harbor Inlet.  The owners have placed Adirondack chairs on the back 

of the property close to the water.  A fantastic place to sit and enjoy an afternoon adult beverage listening to the

gentle waves lap the beaches as the tide goes either in or out of the bay.

The other night, we decided to take advantage of the opportunity to order fresh lobster, from The Lobstore.  You 

just have to call, place your order, and they cook the lobster for you to pick up!  Wow, it was delicious!

Yesterday we biked into and through the quaint town of Winter Harbor.  Found a river edge road that we 

followed for miles enjoying the views and the sounds.

 

Today, the weather finally cooperated and allowed us to kayak.  We had already scouted a couple of sites nearby.  

Of course one of them was the bay inside Acadia NP and the other, Jone's Pond.  The latter, is a large lake nearby 

and hardly used by anyone.  Something about kayaking in "Acadia National Park" that sounded very inviting.  We proceeded to Frazier Point  and launched our boats.  We followed the "inside passage" an inlet protected from 

the wind and open waters of Winter Harbor Bay and the open ocean.  The waters were very clear and almost 

unreal that this was ocean waters.  Visibility was all the way down as long as light went that far down.  We 

enjoyed the peacefulness the area provided and kayaked among the gulls, Blue Herons and Cormorants that 

were feeding.  The Cormorants allowed us to get almost at arm's length before they dove down again to feed 

while staying still and allowing them to come up for air next to us.  An amazing bird!!!

 

Tomorrow morning we begin our trip back home via Indiana.  We need to stop by our RV manufacturer where 

repairs to our flooring will be made.  We managed to change this appointment to coincide with our return trip 

from Maine and avoid having to head out again after having been home for a few weeks.  See you all on our next adventure…
