Acadia National Park: West side

Day 275
​Bar Harbor ME

Plan A: Throw together a video of our two days in the park and let you folks space out for a couple of minutes. Plan B: Video editing software crashes and I've got to type some words, post some pictures, and make a video on my phone to salvage the footage. Welcome to plan B.

We take Day #1 and roll over to the west side of the park. This side sees a lot less tourism traffic and we plan on taking it easy. Eli gets leashed up and goes along for the day. Not many national parks let us bring the dog. Acadia is a bit different. Dogs are pretty much allowed everywhere. 

The day breezes by without much fuss. Rocky shores and a few small trails is all that makes it to the agenda. Acadia is kind of a weird park. It's spread out on Mt. Desert Island and broken up by small fishing villages throughout. This shows itself especially true on the west side. We get home by late afternoon and settle in to the RV for the night. My night time responsibilities include taking the dog out when it gets dark. Eli gets leashed up for an extra night walk. Him and I make our way down to the shore to check out a waning sunset on the tidal mud flats of eastern Maine. A new sight for these traveling eyes. Life could be worse.
