This is the first visit that either of us has made to New England, and I’m pleasantly surprised by the New England-y-ness of it all. We passed through lots of beautiful quaint towns with lots of Main Streets on our way to Acadia National Park. For once we actually arrived at a campsite during the day and set up our campsite in the light. We then drove around the park, seeing the Atlantic Ocean for the first time on the road trip. We drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain which, though it is the tallest mountain on the Atlantic Coast, is quite short but still affords good views of the ocean and surrounding Maine-y scenery. We had dinner in neighboring Bar Harbor, a town that was clearly a day or two away from shutting down for the season and had lots of deals on lewd sweatshirts, which we did not take advantage of. After dinner, we went back to camp, where I dressed in every layer I had with me (four thermal shirts, hoodie, fleece jacket, sweatshirt, leggings, three pairs of yoga/sweat pants and my winter coat). Though it was nearly impossible to bend my elbows or move, thanks to the layers and Brad’s fire, we passed the evening warmly.
This is the furthest east we'll be on our trip!
