Visiting Maine and all of it's Beauty

We left Rondout Valley RV Campground September 9th and spent a month traveling up to Bar Harbor in Maine. This has been such a fun trip that we are even thinking about coming back in 2019 or 2020 depending on just how far away we stray to this summer.

We enjoyed Cape Cod and the Boston Freedom Trail for a couple of days before getting to Maine and found Cape Cod to be a great area with beautiful beaches, but unfortunately there was a very sad shark attack on a surfer the day after we left. We did not see any of the seals that apparently are living  in the area and have become  a food source for the sharks but we did not go back to the beach at Cape Cod after hearing of that attack.

Our original plans was to  travel up to and stay at Moody Beach RV Campground located in southern Maine, but we soon learned that much of the real beauty of Maine was further north, so we headed up to Bar Harbor and Arcadia National Park. That was a great decision and we would highly recommend the area to anyone wanting to see the beauty associated with New England.

With our Thousand Trails membership we can stay for Free at the Moody Beach and Narrows Too campgrounds but when we arrived in the Bar Harbor area, we found that the Narrows Too campground free sites were full so we had to rent a spot. We decided to step up and rent one of the sites right on the ocean so we could watch the tides come in and out and enjoy all that scenery. The site cost $107 per day (minus a 20% TT discount) so we only stayed in the site 4 days until we could get into one of the Free sites, but it was money well spent.

We got to eat lobster dinners and a variety of seafood and enjoyed most all of it, although not many items compared to Pearl's home cooking which is always awesome and usually pretty healthy.

Well it is now October 9th and the last month has flown by and we are back in Rondout Valley Campground meeting up with some friends and looking forward to meeting some new ones. The couple that does the youtube channel "Get Gone With Us" are planning to come to Rondout Valley campground this Sunday for a meet up. They have a great channel and provide a lot of useful information to their viewers so we are anxious to get to meet them. Check out their channel here.Get Gone With Us
