    I'm at Pumpkin Patch RV park near Bangor Maine....Fantastic place and with Passport American only $135 for 4 nights....Bar Harbor was PACKED! Way too many tourist's. Acadia Vistor's center had ZERO parking so I gave up. But the best Lobster Rolls I've ever had were at the Traveling Lobster about 10 miles from Bar Harbor...GREAT!!!

      Oh that is interesting! Was it because you had to break camp to go explore every time? We stayed about 10-15 minutes from the park so it was easy to take the dogs in a couple times a week to hike. This was the closest we've stayed to a National Park and the longest.... so I think we really liked the connivence of visiting.

      @@IreneIronTravels for me the issue was not being able to park. At 28’ I needed an RV space at the Visitor Center. I circled the parking lot for times before I finally gave up. I was able to find two places along the loop road where I could park and experience the beauty of nature. OTOH, I wouldn’t change a thing. I understand that my choice at 28 feet long is not everyone’s choice. I’m grateful for every thing I get to see. And, I have no regrets about the things I have to pass by.

    There's a portion of rt. 3 south of Boston that allows travel in the breakdown lane, and it was only during rush hour times and now it seems people do it all the time. I think it's very dangerous, people that live in that area and are used to doing it, do it were you aren't allowed. Someone was nearly killed on rt. 6 by doing it. Wish we ran into you, we lived on Martha's Vineyard in Oak Bluffs for 25 years and have been on the Cape now, the last 4 in Falmouth. Now we're free to RV too. My Aunt and Uncle live in Bar Harbor, last year we did the trip you're on, from Bar Harbor we went to Nova Scotia, PEI, New Brunswick, Quebec City, Toronto back over at Niagara Falls to the Cape.
