On the Road Again...part 3

On the Road Again…Part3
Bass Harbor Campground, Acadia National Park, Maine                                                                                                        


 I left Cape Ann with directions to a restaurant for ‘the best lobstah rolls around’. I was very excited, hadn’t had one yet! But first!! I had to stop to see ‘The Paper House’. No way to miss this. Except for the roof, deck, and supports the house is totally made from paper. Furniture, piano, grandfather clock, everything!! There was no kitchen; I just realized that! Haha!! This is what I call a hobby!!! I used internet photos, I think I have to learn how to  use a ‘real’ camera.

That's a chaise lounge on the right.
Looks so comfy, doesn't it??

I went on to Lotsa Lobsta but I was too early. I knew I had a long drive ahead, so I hit the road, skipping their breakfast. I wanted to make Acadia and settle in before too late.


Typically I use the small roads, single lanes that go through every little town. After all, this is what it is all about for me.  But today I had at least a five hour drive so I took the interstate. I pulled in to Bass Harbor Campgrounds about 6. Still lots of hours of light ahead, June 20th after all. What I hadn’t realized was how big Acadia National Park is. I drove through so much of it before arriving at the camp. Lots of homes, beautiful striking evergreen forest; I need a copilot to take pictures!! Just a few pics of us at camp, Park pics to come!!

All the way down at the tippy tip!!     ^

  1. Lobster traps have come a long way...they were ALWAYS wooden when I lived in Massachusetts (circa 1970s). I NEVER saw a metal one.

    And you've never had a lobsta roll?! OMG Don't leave Maine without eating at least a dozen.
