    After watching your hiking section of this video for getting to Cadillac Mountain, we think we will be driving up at sunrise - heard that is a great thing to do.

    I didn’t think Sylvia’s look like anything special but the Iron Maiden music may have sold me to try. 😂

      I think that was the first time ever that I heard Iron Maiden playing on the radio in a restaurant! They got big bonus points for that. :D

    "Acadian" is the name for the kind of French they speak in New Brunswick, and points east, including parts of Maine. It is quite different from the French they speak in Quebec! When the French were kicked out, they went to Louisiana, and "Acadian" became "Cajun."

      Yup, Maine was originally part of New France, named after one of the old Northern Provinces of France... in fact, part of my Great Great Grandfather's former farm in Bellechasse Quebeq, is now in Maine (Thanks to the moving of the border after the Russ-Baggot treaty, when once again, Britain threw Canada under the bus)

    What time of year do you recommend going to coastal Maine?

    • @chrisplusmelissa
      @chrisplusmelissa  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We were in Maine in May and it was a pretty good time we felt to be there. Nothing was overly busy. But it was still a bit cold. We've never been in Maine any other time of year, so it's hard to feel like we're experts. :)

    Did they ask to see your park pass in order to let you onto Bar Island?

    • @chrisplusmelissa
      @chrisplusmelissa  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No. There also didn't appear to be any official post for checking that kind of stuff. My guess is that sometimes, there's probably a ranger out and about and they may just ask you for your pass.

    • @srkh8966
      @srkh8966 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As far as I know, no one ever checks it. Update: your park pass is for your car only. You don’t need it when you’re hiking, and you can access the park without a car.

    Idyllic spot you landed in. Easy lifestyle and good food. I think that area is subject to a lot of snow come winter.
