    Thank You, Wow, this is exactly what we did today, and you were so Spot ON! Loved the Sand Bar Trail followed by the Shore Path, and yes, we ended up at the Terrace grill at Bar Harbor Inn for a late lunch and drinks I encourage folks to get out of downtown Bar Harbor, parking is 'challenging', it is incredibly crowded, parking is 'challenging' then add in all the folks getting off of cruise ships for their excursions, A lot of fog today and heard the 'foghorns' repeated the entire time, pretty cool.

      I'm glad you had a good time here in Bar Harbor. Yeah this time of the year is Cruise Ship season and it can get a little nuts with the amount of people in town during the day. Getting out in the off the beaten track trails is always the best.

    I remember going to Bar Harbor when I was about 12 with my parents. So... a long long time ago. Great tips about the low and high tide to get over and back from the island, I never knew that was how it got the name. my hubby and I would love the Barnacle for beer and whiskey. And I would certainly go for that lobster! Great tour.

    • @AdventuresOfATravelingDon
      @AdventuresOfATravelingDon  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. It probably hasn't changed too much since you were here. Maybe different restaurants and a heck of a lot more tourists. The complexion of the town is probably the same though.

    Interesting info. I know about Samuel Adams beer but never heard of Bar Harbor. A bit crazy that some cars try to cross from Bar Island even though it's probably obvious that it's going to get flooded. People eh? That lobster and shrimp cocktail looks really yum! I do hope you do a food tour next time.

      If you go to the Terrace Grille say hi to Becca, Kim and Jillena if they are there working. June is a good time to go since the major crowds haven't yet started. The only thing I would mention bringing, is a rain jacket and/or umbrella. June can tend to be wet. Last June actually wasn't too bad only about 7 or 8 days of rain, but it's sporadic.

      @@AdventuresOfATravelingDon thank you so much for your reply! Truly appreciate the advice... looks like my rain jacket that I purchased for our trip to the other coast (Canon Beach, Oregon) last Spring will have another use! We don't mind; and hopefully the sun will shine, too! Why Spring? Because hotel prices are unreachable for us in the summer.

    The weather here today is not very inviting to go for a walk- so walking with you through Bar Harbor was a lovely alternative. Your personalized mask looked awesome. I know that might sound funny, but some masks just are AWEFUL. Yours has style. Plenty of people out on the sandbar/beach. The variety of areas covered in the video made the walk fun and interesting. Beach, woodlands, footpaths, township. Lovely mixture and giving a good overal picture of the area. Nice watch, thank you. 🙏🇳🇿 🙋‍🇳🇱

      @AdventuresOfATravelingDon  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lol I'm sure. And Maine Tide's are notorious for their diversity of depth. Also there are days and times in the year where your low tides are early morning and after dark so doing the bar Island walk isn't always feasible everyday.

    Hey man! Love the energy, and the detail you bring to describing where you are. It's funny you said that about ruins, I just (today) finished a new video that centers around ruins and a sunken city in the Philippines, so that's very much on my mind. Wild too about the cars getting stuck on the bar. Interesting choice about what's your time worth...$50 or 9 hours sitting around? Take it easy on the shrimp man! Going to take a gander around your channel, lots of inspiration here!
