We left Timber Trails spider web rental to go to my brother Joe and his wife Reta’s house in Dingmans Ferry PA for some more recuperation.
It was very peaceful staying at their house by the lake. We both needed that. Downside, the closest Dunkin Donuts is 30 minutes away….WTF!
We are heading up to Massachusetts to spend the night with our son Matt and his wife Caitlin. We plan to stop at Framingham MA to see the progress on the new build before heading to Maine. Never been to Maine. So the adventure continues.
As we skirted through New Hampshire, we visited their popular tourist attraction…..tax free state liquor store .
We will be staying for 5 nights nearby Stockton Springs, Maine near the river. We are about an hour from Acadia Park and Bar Harbor. We will be staying in the green yurt which also goes by the name “The Mallard” and has indoor plumbing!
The Wi-Fi password is “yurtsarecool”. Totally.
Friday, we decided to stay put at the yurt. Beth stocked us up on supplies at the local grocery store. Took a short walk from the yurt to see the shoreline of the Penobscot river with sailboats moored in the distance.
Saturday, we went to Acadia State Park and drove Loop road. Didn’t get any hikes in because parking was impossible and a ton of people. Going to go much earlier tomorrow and use the free shuttle buses instead of trying to drive.
Headed to nearby Bar Harbor in the afternoon. Small, quaint, walkable touristy town with a pretty coastline. Parking was difficult here as well. The locals call August, “the 100 days of August”. There are so many tourists here in peak season.
