The carriage trails and Jordan pond and all of its surroundings.. If you're there at the right time of the year you get to eat while berries as you bike Or hike 😄 Happy trails....
The lower you go on a ship, the shorter the distance it travels and results in it feeling faster. At the top of the ship, it travels further, but also feels slower. Plus Chad's comment regarding land. A reference helps a great deal. Looks like you guys had a wonderful visit.
Hi guys. Another great video. My family and I have been camping at Acadia NP and Mt Desert Island several times. Too bad that you missed the show at Thunder Hole. The tides must be just right for you to experience the rush of water flowing into the rock cavern and the sound made as water and air is forced out ... sounds like a clap of thunder. Water can spray up to 40 feet high! Try coming again in Autumn so you can also enjoy the beautiful fall foliage. Safe travels.
Chad, ... your time with your girls seemed AWESOME !!!!!! Hold on to those memories, as time in general just speeds on past ..... I've watched BOTH Bar Harbor vids a few times each .... I think it has been some of YOUR BEST footage to date !!! Excellent job Tara did, capturing and editing such BEAUTIFUL scenery :) :) :) :) :)
All honor to Thunder Hole Ale. Yummy. One lesson I learned while living there: The fog always wins - no matter what. Next time in Maine, if you really want to see a nice little seaport village, try Stonington. I also saw Stephen King's place when I was in Bangor. If I ever hit the lottery, I'd move to Portland the next day. Great video. I lived there 20, 21 years ago. Wonderful memories for me.
Okay, you wanted to know some ideas of what you missed while you were on Mt Desert Island in Maine. One word answer: The Quiet Side !! You spent all your time over on the Bar Harbor side (the eastern half of MDI), also known as the "brightly lit, loud and busy side". On quiet side is Southwest Harbor and Bass Harbor which are 100% more fishing-oriented but also with some good restaurants. Bass Harbor has an excellent tour boat ( Little Island Tours) that goes out to some very historical islands. Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse is here also, that you can drive to. We spent 11 years running a mail boat out to 2 islands and have much info to pass on to you, if you would like. We enjoy your videos !
Yup. I worked in the gift shop on top of Mount Cadillac. There were days that driving up that winding road in the fog was a very slow process. I remember having to open my door and watching the line in the middle of the road.
Carriage ride was fun. Bike trails also. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park is a 4 hour trip for us and we enjoy camping there. Thanks for the video. Todd in NH.
So, I've been working my way through your videos to help me get through an absolutely crushing end-of-year workload, and I just have to let you know how much I loved this video. Chad, your daughters are THE BEST.
I been watching your blogs for some time Love your channel and the knowledge you bring to rv life thank you for your service my son is also in the service navy seal team 5
We loved Cadillac Mountain! We packed a lunch and sat up there for a very long time. So glad you got to see it on a fairly clear day. In the Acadia National Park is Hunter's Cove and we had a blast there. On low tide, you can bounce rocks off the bigger rocks and they ricochet all over the place. It was so much fun and my husband and I giggled like little kids. The whale watching was so amazing that we went on. We walked where you walked looking for Thunder Hole and agree, it's overrated, you chose the better place to be, though foggy. Gouldsboro near there is very cool. Loved watching you and the laughter. Brought back many great memories of our trip before Lyme!
Thanks for the wonderful tips! We had not heard of any of your suggestions, but will add them to our list for next time we visit the area! We look forward to getting back there someday! 💚😊
We are not full timers, but because of our jobs we spend a lot of time in our motor home on adventures. Because of your channel I have a desire to add a motorcycle to our travels. You look like you have so much fun while out on Lucille .
JUST WATCHED THE PT 2 OF BAR HARBOR, BEAUTIFUL, YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADIES … Made me hungry watching, ya'll eat all that lobster... lol... Thanks for showing your travels and excitements . Enjoy and travel safe. Catch ya'll on the next adventure...
Enjoyed video very much. We were in Maine in 2016 and had to come back home to Southern Illinois because my Mom was sick. Now I see what we missed. Hope to go back someday.
We camp on the southwest harbor side of the island every year at Smugglers Den (book a year before). We have not stopped finding something new to see/do each year. We do a lot of hiking with our dogs, the trails are endless. The carriage roads are the best, very well maintained and lots to see. There is a very fun horse drawn carriage ride that you can do, full of information and history form that area. Kayaking and SUP is always fun on the lakes. Right near Paddy's downtown is a sand bar that you can cross when the tide is out, but be careful, you might get suck out on the island if the tide comes back in. We love Mainely Meat BBQ and Atlantic Brew Co. Go for a tour of the brewery and take some home with you. Eat the best BBQ and have a pint right there! Bar Harbor Cellars is a great winery and sweet pea's cafe has great light fares for happy hour! I could go on and on, like I said something new we find every year. We will continue, just a wonderful area.
@@ChangingLanes Anytime! Its very possible we were up there the same time as you last year, July is our month to go. Funny if we crossed paths at some point. Small world. Smugglers Den is great, little less expensive as the rest in the area,, and lobster in the camp store right from the boat! Happy Camping!
AWESOME view from Cadillac Mountain!!! Loved your tours of Connecticut, West Virginia, & Maine. Would love to see a fall colors tour of the New England states sometime.
Went on our honeymoon to Maine (Acadia, Bar Harbor) many years ago. Rocks. Yep. Geology. I should know (geologist). Good memories. Nice work on this video.
You 2 put together great videos! That takes a lot of filming and a lot more editing that most people really don't appreciate how much time this takes. Way to go! Too bad for the fog but that happens. Lobsters looked great.
When we went to Maine, we came across from the west and stopped for a week in Rangeley Lakes before we moved on to Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor, and Acadia National Park. We enjoyed Rangeley Lakes and the White Mountains so much that we had a hard time tearing ourselves away to go to the coast. We also enjoyed a boat tour of the islands sprinkled around Mount Desert Island that was really interesting.
I love to see you have a great time together with Megan and Madison 🤗👍💖 Beautiful places you showing and both crazy dance and jumping 🤗🤣🤣👍👍 I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this I'm looking forward to the next adventures. Greetings from the Netherlands 👍😉🇳🇱
Loved the part2. What a great visit you had!!! We love Seafood Ketch restaurant Bass Harbor. Right on a working Harbor. I have more places to tell you. I will send a message. Great video!!
In Bar Harbor check out Jordan's for blueberry pancakes and try to get on the whale watch on the clipper ship. On the way up the coast check out Camden Maine! We hope to back in 2020.
I am so jealous of the lifestyle you are living but really enjoy living vicariously through you! We also have an Indian Roadmaster and have a truck capable of pulling 12200lbs. We just need a toy hauler 5th wheel! I grew up in Maine, attending high school and college there, and we spend just about every October revisiting the area for a few weeks. Hopefully one day soon, we can add the 5th wheeler and maybe run into you guys on the road. Not literally, of course! Some of our favorite destinations in Maine include: - Orrs and Baileys Island near Brunswick. Be sure to visit lands end and eat at Cook's Lobster House - Brunswick has a lot of neat little areas to explore including Bowdoin College and great food at the Dolphin Inn - Bath is another interesting destination that has a ton of neat things to do like the Maine Maritime Museum, Bath Iron Works, and you've got to eat a pizza at "The Cabin" (great beer, too)! - Fort Popham beach is also worth exploring and is close to bath - Kennebunbkport has some cool stuff to see and do including the Bush Family compound and fantastic food and during. Must eats include the Clam Shack, Alisson's Restaurant blueberry pie, and the Maine Dinner for the best breakfast in Maine! Just scratching the surface with so many fun options. Would love to talk to you guys to find out more about the logistics of putting on your show. We'd love to learn from the masters!! Best wishes and safe travels!
Thanks for the tips! We're heading back up that way next summer! We also made two Portland videos if you haven't seen those: th-cam.com/video/nTJpJgegqv4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ABODv5SjdhE/w-d-xo.html Take care and safe travels! 👍🏼
Great video ( about the sea sickness I have a party barge and we found out that to look out to the horizon and you won’t get sick ) just a note you guys are awesome thanks so much
I'm from Maine - I think I told you before - I'm glad you enjoyed being there... I haven't been to Key West yet so I'll be watching... thanks again for another awesome job !
What a great video!! I can't wait to be able to spend some time up there. BEAUTIFUL scenery. Love the logging show too! And, success in going to the top of Cadillac mountain! YAY!! Sand Beach was cool too!
Hey Chad & Tara .... AWESOME video !!!!! Part 2 was even better (in some ways), than Part 1 ... (IF that is possible ... :) :) I have been fortunate enough in my lifetime to have traveled to many parts of the world, ... but I still have to say that Maine has to be in my TOP 7 .... It' rare beauty is unmatched !!!!!! YES, the water IS "cold", but it is also extremely CLEAN ... (unlike so many other seashores) .... What made this even better, Chad's daughters got to experience it with you both :) :) :) :) PRICELESS, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Thank you" for sharing it with all of us, as well .... Rick S. (Massachusetts)
Pemaquid Point and Pemaquid Beach are must sees. The Point has one of Maine's most famous light houses. The beach is one of the few beaches in Maine that actually gets warm because it is so shallow. The mica sand is really cool looking it looks like flecks of gold in the water. If you love seafood Shaw's Fish & Lobster Wharf is just around the corner. You can watch the fishing boats come in and unload. It doesn't get any fresher than that.
Wow Maine is so beautiful when it's not foggy lolll . Been there once when I was a kid but unfortunately it was winter so I never saw the place properly. Anyway have a safe travels to your next destination and God bless you all 👍🏼
Great video. Maine is great. Next time in Maine consider Ogunquit, and while there try the trolley and especially the Perkins Cove area with shops and great restaurants. A beautiful spot you will never forget. Thanks for video.
LOL - the 'Maine' Event.... Fjord - wouldn't that be Fj-yahd in New England? Too bad you couldn't do the whale watching trip - it was really cool. Actually, it was cold way out there, even in July. The view from the top of Cadillac was amazing. We really liked our trip to Kennebunkport and Bar Harbor. I'd like to go back again on the bike next time. Look forward to your next destination.
absolutely beautiful area! thanks for sharing! ive only stayed in Wells Maine once, and will be there again, one night only at Red Apple CG this summer on the way to PEI. Bar Harbour is on our list, but we might move it up from 2021 to 2020! haha.. too man y places to see, so little vacation time!
Thanks for your sharing your experience. We are traveling to Acadia at the end of June for 2 weeks from Ohio. This will be our first big excursion with our trailer. I'll pass along anything that is different.
Loved you video, ...this is my backyard. I would also recommend jordan pond house....ive walked all the carriage trails, hiked most of all the mountain trails....if you had stayed on the board walk. It would have come to a dirt T, the right goes to a meadow, the left brings you right back where you started, just on the other side of the bog..this island has lots to offer, but its crazy packed, when i get time off from work, i go north. Greenville, moosehead lake, i also love baxter state park..my all time favorite hike is a 1/2 -3/4 mile boardwalk out to sandy stream pond....where you offten see 3-4 moose eating the grasses in the pond, mount katahdin meets the pond..there are only a few places to eat...you can do a moose tour, and whitewater rafting...fall is a great time to come. Staying in a remote maine cabin, with a wood stove, and listen to the loons and read a good book.. nothing better!!!!
We wend to Jordan pond house in part 1 (th-cam.com/video/7ZlmWxUfU24/w-d-xo.html) Didn't know about the whitewater rafting and moose tour! Something for next time! Thanks for the tips! 😊
Your videos are always a fun watch. It looks as though your daughters had a good time, always so good to have the kids around when it's possible... and while it's possible. If you find yourselves in San Diego, please reach out, I'll turn you on to the best cheeseburger in town and the best fresh tuna salad sandwich on fresh-baked sourdough you'll ever have. Happy travels
Omg, tuna salad is my favorite. Where is this place you mentioned? We're in Encinitas for another couple of weeks. Can you name the place please? Thanks.
@@mikecollins1631, Wow I'm thrilled to hear this got your attention. If tuna salad is your thing, DO NOT MISS THIS. The name of the place is Point Loma Seafoods and it's located at 2805 Emerson St, San Diego, CA 92106. Please do let me know if you give it a try, and what your personal experience was. Also, you might want to take a short 30 second walk to another place called Mitch's Seafood. It's a small hole-in-the-wall place with really great food too. The views over the boats and harbor from both places is totally memorable. Have fun!
Enjoyed this video as well as all I find with Changing Lanes. I am out of sequence on their catalog of videos but did watch Part 1 as well. Well edited and entertaining with a really nice family touch! Very well edited, better than I see on TV! I believe Tara gets the credit for that part☺
Thanks, Danny! If interested, we have an "all videos" playlist in chronological order here: th-cam.com/play/PLMg04_vIaei5hE4iYdz_zhJqoYKYIjsAn.html And, yes... Tara definitely gets 100% of the editing credit. 😊 I do have a little bit of input, so maybe 99.9% credit. 😂🤣
Haha you park you’re truck like my husband, he could fit it anywhere! We go to Bar Harbor every year and stay at the KOA. Interesting note, Tina was on one of early seasons of survivor! Loved the show. Also if you feel up to a small hike try Wonderland Trail or Ship Harbor trail, beautiful down that end of the island
No idea what you missed but it still makes me want to see the east coast since I was born and raised on the west coast. I feel like I’ve been missing out!!!
Tina was on one of the early seasons of Survivor! She’s great! If you feel up to a small hike try Ship Harbor or Wonderland next time. Love your videos!
So we are headed to Acadia in August. I'm curious. Did you have any trouble finding parking in Bar Harbor and Acadia with such a big truck? It's usually tough with just a small car. Great video. I took lots of notes on stuff to do. We too are staying in Trenton.
Moosehead Lake, Height of the Land, Northern end of Route 1, most eastern spot in US, the Forks, Moxie Falls, rafting the Kennebec, Dead, or Nob, Jasper Beach, Boothbay Harbor, Mt Katahdin, Fort Knox, Penobscot Narrows Observatory, I could go on and on
Got to Ogunquit beach Maine and Perkins Cove Maine 1 or 2 miles from the white sandy beach. Leave the Trail either in Wells Beach there are a few campgrounds maybe two that can take big rigs. Or stay at Hampton Beach New Hampshire State park you can see it right there in my pix it can handle big rigs. It’s directly on the ocean. Dry camping you don’t need reservations and they have dump and water. The actual sites are full hook ups book 1 year in advance if you want to wake up and have the ocean steering you in the face. You can get an adult beverage all over this beach area. Very nice white sand beach here
So glad I found your channel. Y’all are awesome! Your daughters are beautiful! I visited Bar Harbor and Acadia a few years ago, wow! What a spectacular place! I cannot wait to go back. I am also a Navy veteran, Hospital Corpsman, GO NAVY! It’s great to see a fellow sailor enjoying life. Tara, you are an inspiration too and I love your sense of humor. I’m always on tick watch now that we’re stationary for a while and one of my cats goes outside. God bless y’all!
As someone who's had a lot of trouble with motion sickness (kept me from pursuing my pilot's license), I can confirm that ginger helps a *lot*. If you can find it, ginger beer is stronger than ginger ale (still non-alcoholic) and so it helps more. There are also little ginger candies that help. I kept those during chemo to knock down the background nausea that the IV and prescription oral meds for nausea didn't quite eliminate. If I'm expecting motion sickness, I take Bonine, but sometimes that's not enough. I remember Sand Beach, and being amazed at the people out there swimming. We stuck to walking on the beach, climbing rocks, etc. We waded a little, and decided that water is not meant for swimming. We just drove up the coast, spent a day in the park, and then left, so I don't think we saw anything you missed. Maine was fun, and we enjoyed a lot of lobster in our brief time there, but it looks like you saw quite a bit more than we did. I think my wife would consider "the full lobster experience" as having to include someone across the table from you not noticing the crackers, breaking the tail by hand, and spraying lobster juice all over you. To be fair, they'd put the crackers under something, so I assumed they just weren't included. Unrelated to the video, I know you're well connected with Grand Design. I tried asking some questions with their online form, but got no response. Do you have an email for someone there who could answer questions about their models?
Well, that's not good (the grand design not answering part). Did their system send you any kind of "we got your message" email. If so, can you please forward that to us (info@changinglanesrv.com)? If not, just email us your question and we'll get to our contacts there and make sure you get an answer. 👍🏽
@@ChangingLanes No, I didn't even get an acknowledgement email, and since it's an online form and not a contact email, I don't have any sort of record of what I sent. I was hoping that someone there acts as some sort of support contact, with an email address instead of a semi-functional form. I was looking for information about what difference there is between the two (Momentum 376TH, Solitude 374TH) models that have the small garage under the (rear) bedroom, what would make a customer prefer one versus the other. All I can find from the brochures is that the Momentum has a 30g fuel system, and when you do the build-and-price they don't present options the same. We're also interested in the full dimensions of that garage. The brochure and site give very simplified dimensions, but from the pics it appears the garage is one width at the bottom, a bit narrower partway up. Those models aren't very common, so our local dealer doesn't have any.
@@ChangingLanes Thanks. I look forward to hearing something from them. It would be so much easier if they just provided a reasonable way to contact them, like an email address for these kinds of questions.
@@BruceS42 Hi there! My name is Emily. I am the Director of Social Media for GDRV. Thank you for letting us know you have not received anything.

Ya"ll missed a moose! oh and... Maybe (serious maybe) Moosehead lake is a possible destination, beautiful but with that giant rig not sure if ya can fit anywhere near it... Great Video!
Being a recent Maine transplant Moosehead Lake area is where most locals go, if you are feeling adventurous take the Golden Road over to Millinocket, its about 70 miles of nothing but a good time 👍
QUESTION.. off topic for this video.. is you truck an F350? If so, did you have an issue. with the bed rails of your truck. Almost the same height of the bottom of the nose. Of your 5th wheel
I love your vids. One question though. Other than the pleasure you get out of your bike during your travels are there any advantages you get from having a second vehicle other than your truck to get around after your trailer is parked?
We don't generally use the bike for running errands and such, but we will sometimes grab some groceries on the way back from a ride. Just can't carry too much because the bike is usually full of camera gear. The truck is our "daily driver". The bike can certainly be used for a quick trip, but (for us) that means riding boots, gloves, etc. and she has to be uncovered and cleaned before a ride... 😎
@@ChangingLanes Ok. You see youtubers saying having a bike or scooter is so handy and I've always wonder what is the practical utility for it? Sure it's fun to get around with and see the sites but I'd rather use my truck honestly. My 2014 crew cab short box Sierra can be surprisingly nimble as long as I know where my bumpers are. lol Thx for the response.
Several... Our primary camera is a Canon 80D with Rode VMP+, sometimes mounted on a Ronin-S (gimbal) when we can for smooth video. We use the GoPro Hero7 for some vlog-mode shots and as a secondary angle when using the Canon. On the Bike, we also use a second GoPro Hero 7 with Karma Grip (Tara manually filming), Two GoPro Hero 5 Sessions mounted in various locations, as well as the Hero 7. For aerial shots, we use the DJI Mavic Pro (original). We also just started using a DJI Osmo Pocket for quick out and about stabilized video as well as some vlog-mode shots. If you'd like more detail, we do have all of our camera gear in gear in our Amazon Store here 😎: changinglanesrv.com/amazon-camera-gear Thanks for watching! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊

I liked this one because everyone was acting silly and Clearly Happy about vacationing together. That's The Best.
Thanks for watching, Keoki! 😊
Loved the interaction with the girls, favorite video
The carriage trails and Jordan pond and all of its surroundings..
If you're there at the right time of the year you get to eat while berries as you bike Or hike 😄
Happy trails....

Hi guys. Another great video. My family and I have been camping at Acadia NP and Mt Desert Island several times. Too bad that you missed the show at Thunder Hole.

By far, one of the best videos, loved seeing Chads daughters. Very family . Love it !

Makes me miss home. Acadia was my backyard for many years. I reside in NC now but Maine will always be home
Great music. Loved the video. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice...glad you all had a great time.....the girls are beautiful.
I never heard of Bar Harbor until watching your videos. Clearly we need to visit Maine. Thanks for the great video!
It's a beautiful state full of super friendly people... Highly recommended! Thanks for watching! 😃
I been watching your blogs for some time Love your channel and the knowledge you bring to rv life thank you for your service my son is also in the service navy seal team 5
Wow! Seal team! Amazing accomplishment!
Thanks for following our journey! 😊
Thanks again for the ride along. Much appreciated. Nice video, looks like an interesting place to visit.

AWESOME view from Cadillac Mountain!!! Loved your tours of Connecticut, West Virginia, & Maine. Would love to see a fall colors tour of the New England states sometime.
We tried to catch the fall colors in the smokies last year, but they changed later than normal. Hope to catch them this year! 🍁😊
Went on our honeymoon to Maine (Acadia, Bar Harbor) many years ago. Rocks. Yep. Geology. I should know (geologist). Good memories. Nice work on this video.
Following the coast north from mount desert is a great ride on the bike ,small fishing villages and light houses.
We need to definitely do more riding next time we're up there!
You 2 put together great videos! That takes a lot of filming and a lot more editing that most people really don't appreciate how much time this takes. Way to go! Too bad for the fog but that happens. Lobsters looked great.
Thank you! Indeed, our videos do take a lot of work to put together. Thanks for watching! 😃
Timely, headed to Maine in September. Plan to stay in the Bar Harbor area as well. Enjoy the vids.
Hope you enjoy the area as much as we did!
When we went to Maine, we came across from the west and stopped for a week in Rangeley Lakes before we moved on to Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor, and Acadia National Park.

We also enjoyed a boat tour of the islands sprinkled around Mount Desert Island that was really interesting.

Hopefully one day soon, we can add the 5th wheeler and maybe run into you guys on the road. Not literally, of course!
Some of our favorite destinations in Maine include:
- Orrs and Baileys Island near Brunswick. Be sure to visit lands end and eat at Cook's Lobster House
- Brunswick has a lot of neat little areas to explore including Bowdoin College and great food at the Dolphin Inn
- Bath is another interesting destination that has a ton of neat things to do like the Maine Maritime Museum, Bath Iron Works, and you've got to eat a pizza at "The Cabin" (great beer, too)!
- Fort Popham beach is also worth exploring and is close to bath
- Kennebunbkport has some cool stuff to see and do including the Bush Family compound and fantastic food and during. Must eats include the Clam Shack, Alisson's Restaurant blueberry pie, and the Maine Dinner for the best breakfast in Maine!
Just scratching the surface with so many fun options. Would love to talk to you guys to find out more about the logistics of putting on your show. We'd love to learn from the masters!! Best wishes and safe travels!
Thanks for the tips! We're heading back up that way next summer! We also made two Portland videos if you haven't seen those:

Take care and safe travels! 👍🏼
We are heading to Maine in June with our 2 teenage Grandsons. Thanks for the tips. Love your sense of humor.
Who knew Maine could look so fun.
Bar Harbor and the Cadillac mountains are beautiful. Must have been amazing RVing there.
Baxter State Park, I think you would very much enjoy ! Many, MANY GREAT & very informative videos on your wonderful channel, MANY THX !
🙏
Great video ( about the sea sickness I have a party barge and we found out that to look out to the horizon and you won’t get sick ) just a note you guys are awesome thanks so much
I'm from Maine - I think I told you before - I'm glad you enjoyed being there... I haven't been to Key West yet so I'll be watching... thanks again for another awesome job !
We stayed at Bar Harbor KOA, Good place, you can get lobster at the Red Airstream. Our site was small for a 30 foot camper (109) but we worked it out.
We had such a fun time in acadia also!! Thanks for sharing ♡♡
Thanks for watching! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊
@@ChangingLanes we have been watching for some time ♡ you Taught my husband how to properly set up our rv wifi ♡
Hes been subscribed on his personal account but I'm adding you to our RV friends.
Another great video. Beautiful girls!
What a great video!! I can't wait to be able to spend some time up there. BEAUTIFUL scenery. Love the logging show too! And, success in going to the top of Cadillac mountain! YAY!! Sand Beach was cool too!
Hey Chad & Tara .... AWESOME video !!!!! Part 2 was even better (in some ways), than Part 1 ... (IF that is possible ... :) :) I have been fortunate enough in my lifetime to have traveled to many parts of the world, ... but I still have to say that Maine has to be in my TOP 7 .... It' rare beauty is unmatched !!!!!! YES, the water IS "cold", but it is also extremely CLEAN ... (unlike so many other seashores) .... What made this even better, Chad's daughters got to experience it with you both :) :) :) :) PRICELESS, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Thank you" for sharing it with all of us, as well .... Rick S. (Massachusetts)
Thanks, Rick! 😊
Pemaquid Point and Pemaquid Beach are must sees. The Point has one of Maine's most famous light houses. The beach is one of the few beaches in Maine that actually gets warm because it is so shallow. The mica sand is really cool looking it looks like flecks of gold in the water. If you love seafood Shaw's Fish & Lobster Wharf is just around the corner. You can watch the fishing boats come in and unload. It doesn't get any fresher than that.
Wow Maine is so beautiful when it's not foggy lolll . Been there once when I was a kid but unfortunately it was winter so I never saw the place properly. Anyway have a safe travels to your next destination and God bless you all 👍🏼
Great video. Maine is great. Next time in Maine consider Ogunquit, and while there try the trolley and especially the Perkins Cove area with shops and great restaurants. A beautiful spot you will never forget. Thanks for video.
LOL - the 'Maine' Event.... Fjord - wouldn't that be Fj-yahd in New England? Too bad you couldn't do the whale watching trip - it was really cool. Actually, it was cold way out there, even in July. The view from the top of Cadillac was amazing. We really liked our trip to Kennebunkport and Bar Harbor. I'd like to go back again on the bike next time. Look forward to your next destination.
Maine is one gorgeous state. Fog is not uncommon there for sure. Another nice video. Good family fun. Thanks
Thanks for the tour and tips. We will be up there in late June.
absolutely beautiful area! thanks for sharing! ive only stayed in Wells Maine once, and will be there again, one night only at Red Apple CG this summer on the way to PEI.
Bar Harbour is on our list, but we might move it up from 2021 to 2020! haha.. too man y places to see, so little vacation time!
Sweet girls. What a nice family.
Thanks for your sharing your experience. We are traveling to Acadia at the end of June for 2 weeks from Ohio. This will be our first big excursion with our trailer.
I'll pass along anything that is different.
Be sure to stop in and see Tina's lumberjack show!
Loved you video, ...this is my backyard. I would also recommend jordan pond house....ive walked all the carriage trails, hiked most of all the mountain trails....if you had stayed on the board walk. It would have come to a dirt T, the right goes to a meadow, the left brings you right back where you started, just on the other side of the bog..this island has lots to offer, but its crazy packed, when i get time off from work, i go north. Greenville, moosehead lake, i also love baxter state park..my all time favorite hike is a 1/2 -3/4 mile boardwalk out to sandy stream pond....where you offten see 3-4 moose eating the grasses in the pond, mount katahdin meets the pond..there are only a few places to eat...you can do a moose tour, and whitewater rafting...fall is a great time to come. Staying in a remote maine cabin, with a wood stove, and listen to the loons and read a good book.. nothing better!!!!
We wend to Jordan pond house in part 1 (th-cam.com/video/7ZlmWxUfU24/w-d-xo.html)
Didn't know about the whitewater rafting and moose tour! Something for next time! Thanks for the tips! 😊
Tina, since you're a local, do you know what that island is that is cracked in half? I've been looking on the internet and can't seem to find it!
Your videos are always a fun watch. It looks as though your daughters had a good time, always so good to have the kids around when it's possible... and while it's possible. If you find yourselves in San Diego, please reach out, I'll turn you on to the best cheeseburger in town and the best fresh tuna salad sandwich on fresh-baked sourdough you'll ever have. Happy travels
Now I'm hungry for a cheeseburger at 7:53am! 😳 Thanks for watching, Tim! 😃
Omg, tuna salad is my favorite. Where is this place you mentioned? We're in Encinitas for another couple of weeks. Can you name the place please? Thanks.
@@mikecollins1631, Wow I'm thrilled to hear this got your attention. If tuna salad is your thing, DO NOT MISS THIS. The name of the place is Point Loma Seafoods and it's located at 2805 Emerson St, San Diego, CA 92106. Please do let me know if you give it a try, and what your personal experience was. Also, you might want to take a short 30 second walk to another place called Mitch's Seafood. It's a small hole-in-the-wall place with really great food too. The views over the boats and harbor from both places is totally memorable. Have fun!
Enjoyed this video as well as all I find with Changing Lanes. I am out of sequence on their catalog of videos but did watch Part 1 as well. Well edited and entertaining with a really nice family touch! Very well edited, better than I see on TV! I believe Tara gets the credit for that part☺
Thanks, Danny! If interested, we have an "all videos" playlist in chronological order here: th-cam.com/play/PLMg04_vIaei5hE4iYdz_zhJqoYKYIjsAn.html
And, yes... Tara definitely gets 100% of the editing credit. 😊 I do have a little bit of input, so maybe 99.9% credit. 😂🤣
Agree...
Nice parking!
What you missed (in the vid, anyway): Surely you gave the girls some seat time on Lucile? ;-) Great video - loved it!
Not this time around... Weather didn't cooperate. :(
You should take a motorcycle ride around the coast of the island, I have done it before. Its BEAUTIFUL
Awesome place ,we go every year !
Love the Maine videos but cannot wait to see the “Hint....Key West” video!
Haha you park you’re truck like my husband, he could fit it anywhere!
We go to Bar Harbor every year and stay at the KOA. Interesting note, Tina was on one of early seasons of survivor! Loved the show. Also if you feel up to a small hike try Wonderland Trail or Ship Harbor trail, beautiful down that end of the island
cool video, we were in bar harbor last month on a cruise, loved it
Wow Maine Nice ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
No idea what you missed but it still makes me want to see the east coast since I was born and raised on the west coast. I feel like I’ve been missing out!!!
You should definitely check it out! Now that we're out west, we can see it's a whole different world. Awesome that America has so much to offer! 🇺🇸
Tina was on one of the early seasons of Survivor! She’s great!
If you feel up to a small hike try Ship Harbor or Wonderland next time. Love your videos!
Thanks for sharing we haven’t been to the east coast yet . This video makes me wanna be there. Thanks for sharing.
We live in NH and we have not been to Arcadia yet LOL how bad is that.....But after seeing your videos we will make it a trip of ours
We think you'll enjoy it! 😊
So we are headed to Acadia in August. I'm curious. Did you have any trouble finding parking in Bar Harbor and Acadia with such a big truck? It's usually tough with just a small car. Great video. I took lots of notes on stuff to do. We too are staying in Trenton.
Not bad at all, but we did get lucky a few times I think. 😎
@@ChangingLanes Thanks
Love your Videos :) greetings from Germany
Welcome to our channel! Thanks for following our adventures! 😊
The L.L.Bean shuttle will take you anywhere on the island.
good to know.. thanks! 😊
Love Lucille awesome bike
Moosehead Lake, Height of the Land, Northern end of Route 1, most eastern spot in US, the Forks, Moxie Falls, rafting the Kennebec, Dead, or Nob, Jasper Beach, Boothbay Harbor, Mt Katahdin, Fort Knox, Penobscot Narrows Observatory, I could go on and on
Really enjoyed these two clips on Bar Harbor. We are headed there from North Carolina in mid May.
Got to Ogunquit beach Maine and Perkins Cove Maine 1 or 2 miles from the white sandy beach. Leave the Trail either in Wells Beach there are a few campgrounds maybe two that can take big rigs. Or stay at Hampton Beach New Hampshire State park you can see it right there in my pix it can handle big rigs. It’s directly on the ocean. Dry camping you don’t need reservations and they have dump and water. The actual sites are full hook ups book 1 year in advance if you want to wake up and have the ocean steering you in the face. You can get an adult beverage all over this beach area. Very nice white sand beach here
So glad I found your channel. Y’all are awesome! Your daughters are beautiful! I visited Bar Harbor and Acadia a few years ago, wow! What a spectacular place! I cannot wait to go back. I am also a Navy veteran, Hospital Corpsman, GO NAVY! It’s great to see a fellow sailor enjoying life. Tara, you are an inspiration too and I love your sense of humor. I’m always on tick watch now that we’re stationary for a while and one of my cats goes outside. God bless y’all!
Great video! Really enjoyed watching your adventures!
You guys have to check out Two Lights State Park, Pemaquid Point, Camden, Fernald's in Damriscotta and Boothbay Harbor!
Thanks for the tips! Added them to our to-see map! 👍🏼
@@ChangingLanes love the videos. You guys keep it up!
Love your video's :)
Thanks for following our journey! 😊
Actually there are several fjords in Alaska. But I really enjoy your videos.
Stop at Bentleys on the bike next time.....great little place.
FJARD ?? It's a norwegian word, and it is FJORD. You got it right the first time.
Holy crap....I dont think we would get along...because like people dont get along...lol...I have lived the parking incident many times!
Plenty of room! 😎 -chad
Love your video
Thanks for watching, Karen! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊
Great video guys. We can't wait to travel up that way. When are you guys coming back to Ohio?
Thanks! 😊 Not sure yet on Ohio.
the best part of maine was you all.
Thanks, Joe! 😊
coast fishing in the evening when the sceaters are there to eat. I made that mistake
As someone who's had a lot of trouble with motion sickness (kept me from pursuing my pilot's license), I can confirm that ginger helps a *lot*. If you can find it, ginger beer is stronger than ginger ale (still non-alcoholic) and so it helps more. There are also little ginger candies that help. I kept those during chemo to knock down the background nausea that the IV and prescription oral meds for nausea didn't quite eliminate. If I'm expecting motion sickness, I take Bonine, but sometimes that's not enough.
I remember Sand Beach, and being amazed at the people out there swimming. We stuck to walking on the beach, climbing rocks, etc. We waded a little, and decided that water is not meant for swimming.
We just drove up the coast, spent a day in the park, and then left, so I don't think we saw anything you missed. Maine was fun, and we enjoyed a lot of lobster in our brief time there, but it looks like you saw quite a bit more than we did. I think my wife would consider "the full lobster experience" as having to include someone across the table from you not noticing the crackers, breaking the tail by hand, and spraying lobster juice all over you. To be fair, they'd put the crackers under something, so I assumed they just weren't included.
Unrelated to the video, I know you're well connected with Grand Design. I tried asking some questions with their online form, but got no response. Do you have an email for someone there who could answer questions about their models?
Well, that's not good (the grand design not answering part). Did their system send you any kind of "we got your message" email. If so, can you please forward that to us (info@changinglanesrv.com)? If not, just email us your question and we'll get to our contacts there and make sure you get an answer. 👍🏽
@@ChangingLanes No, I didn't even get an acknowledgement email, and since it's an online form and not a contact email, I don't have any sort of record of what I sent. I was hoping that someone there acts as some sort of support contact, with an email address instead of a semi-functional form. I was looking for information about what difference there is between the two (Momentum 376TH, Solitude 374TH) models that have the small garage under the (rear) bedroom, what would make a customer prefer one versus the other. All I can find from the brochures is that the Momentum has a 30g fuel system, and when you do the build-and-price they don't present options the same. We're also interested in the full dimensions of that garage. The brochure and site give very simplified dimensions, but from the pics it appears the garage is one width at the bottom, a bit narrower partway up. Those models aren't very common, so our local dealer doesn't have any.
I've reached out and someone will likely reply here tomorrow.
@@ChangingLanes Thanks. I look forward to hearing something from them. It would be so much easier if they just provided a reasonable way to contact them, like an email address for these kinds of questions.

Ya"ll missed a moose!
oh and...
Maybe (serious maybe) Moosehead lake is a possible destination, beautiful but with that giant rig not sure if ya can fit anywhere near it...
Great Video!
Looks like there are several big rig friendly locations around the lake.. Thanks for the tip!
Being a recent Maine transplant Moosehead Lake area is where most locals go, if you are feeling adventurous take the Golden Road over to Millinocket, its about 70 miles of nothing but a good time 👍
QUESTION.. off topic for this video.. is you truck an F350? If so, did you have an issue. with the bed rails of your truck. Almost the same height of the bottom of the nose. Of your 5th wheel
Yes... F350. Clearance is good. We show quite a bit of it in our towing video if interested: th-cam.com/video/87runDszXLQ/w-d-xo.html
I love your vids. One question though. Other than the pleasure you get out of your bike during your travels are there any advantages you get from having a second vehicle other than your truck to get around after your trailer is parked?
We don't generally use the bike for running errands and such, but we will sometimes grab some groceries on the way back from a ride. Just can't carry too much because the bike is usually full of camera gear. The truck is our "daily driver". The bike can certainly be used for a quick trip, but (for us) that means riding boots, gloves, etc. and she has to be uncovered and cleaned before a ride... 😎
@@ChangingLanes Ok. You see youtubers saying having a bike or scooter is so handy and I've always wonder what is the practical utility for it? Sure it's fun to get around with and see the sites but I'd rather use my truck honestly. My 2014 crew cab short box Sierra can be surprisingly nimble as long as I know where my bumpers are. lol
Thx for the response.
you missed all the wonderful ticks..... I hope
My goodness, Madison is your twin
LOL! Yep! 😎
what camera do you use to shoot the video
Several... Our primary camera is a Canon 80D with Rode VMP+, sometimes mounted on a Ronin-S (gimbal) when we can for smooth video. We use the GoPro Hero7 for some vlog-mode shots and as a secondary angle when using the Canon.
On the Bike, we also use a second GoPro Hero 7 with Karma Grip (Tara manually filming), Two GoPro Hero 5 Sessions mounted in various locations, as well as the Hero 7. For aerial shots, we use the DJI Mavic Pro (original). We also just started using a DJI Osmo Pocket for quick out and about stabilized video as well as some vlog-mode shots.
If you'd like more detail, we do have all of our camera gear in gear in our Amazon Store here 😎: changinglanesrv.com/amazon-camera-gear
Thanks for watching! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊
