We got to the campground around 1:00, set up, and had lunch. We have some pretty good views from our campsite. That is an empty site between us & the water, so the good views may not last. It was super windy. Maybe not Great Sand Dunes windy, but very close.
We decided to drive to one of the Acadia welcome centers and check it out.
We bought a park pass and some souvenirs and then went on the Park Loop. I had purchased a little book with points of interest on the Park Loop. Well, we got to #5, I think, and Chuck saw Cadillac Mountain (I think it was #18) and turned there. We drove up (don't worry - we will hike it later) and parked at the top and walked around. It was really, really windy up there, but beautiful.
After we left the parking lot we thought we would get back on the Park Loop but discovered we had missed the rest of the loop tour. We stumbled onto Jordan Pond, so we pulled in there to check it out. The (non) wind was so calm there, the water was almost glassy. We did some exploring, found some frogs just hanging out, the usual.
After leaving the park, we ended up driving down Main St. through Bar Harbor. Holy cow, there were a lot of people and cars there! Parallel parking on both sides of the street, and not a lot of room left in between for two-way traffic. We decided we will take a shuttle to there when we go.
After supper at the camper, we played some SpikeBall, with a time-out for the sunset.
And now I'm so exhausted from today's activities that I will have to write about them tomorrow. Spoiler alert: there was no SpikeBall today!
