Another rainy and foggy day but we were able to walk and shop around Bar Harbor. The fog just kept getting thicker. Eating Sheperd Pie at the Irish Pub was a great experience. It was wonderful!

Unbelievable day! What a blessing to see God's art work. We visited Acadia Natl Park. The sights and sounds were breath taking. Pictures only catch a small glimpse of the beauty. We drove the loop around Acadia stopping to see a few of the sights.

As we were leaving we just happened to find a fabric shop! Found fabric with Blueberries and Lupines on it. Now I have to figure something to make with it.Read more

What a day! Don and I started out going back to shop in Bar Harbor. Darrell and Bonnie watched the sunrise and hiked to the top of Cadillac Mountain. They came back and said we had to see it. So they drove us to the top in the afternoon. What a trip, so thankful they shared the experience.Read more

Saying Good-Bye to Bar Harbor
June 12, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F
Today is our 12th anniversary! What a blessing and wonderful adventure this has been. We're building the memories we said we wanted to do and having Darrell and Bonnie with us most of the way.

We leave here tomorrow so we wanted to visit the ocean one more time as a farewell.
We have been here 5 days and it has been fantastic. I must say that the mosquitoes are as big or bigger than our flies. And our camp site is at the corner of 5th and main.

Yes, I got my lobster!Read more

Leaving Bar Harbor was sad but we are starting our slow trek home. Our campsites had a creek behind it. Nice area but again bugs/mosquitoes were trying to be our best friends.

At a rest stop after entering NY we were surprised to find ourselves next to the Erie Canal that crosses the state of New York. There was even a pleasure boat in the locks.

After getting settled into our camp sites we went to see the Chittenango Water Falls. I never imagined how large the falls would be. The sound is something you can't explain.Read more

Walking along Erie Canal
June 16, 2022 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 73 °F
As we started our walk to get to the Erie Canal the young buck decided to say "Hello" to us. It's fun to imagine the boats and people that used the canal to move west.

When in NY you have to try New York style pizza. I must say I enjoyed it. It's a thin and crispy crust.

The day ended with storms and rain but the temperatures are cooling.Read more

June 18, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
We started our day finding another great fabric store in Lakewood, NY. The owner was a joy to speak with, providing quilt making info and talking about gardening with Don.

Then we met with Bonnie and Darrell to do the River Walk in Jamestown. Downtown Jamestown was having a Farmers Market where I purchased home grown strawberries and Maple syrup 😋. The River Walk was very relaxing. The water was so clear. They even had a sign about catching Muskys from it. They had to be 40" long to keep!Read more

Here we are in Ohio preparing to spend our last night before arriving home. It feels good to be back in Ohio. We traveled thru PA, WV and arrived in OH today. How the scenery has changed from oceans to mountains, to rolling hills, and flat lands. It's sad to come to the end of a vacation especially a 23 day one.Read more

The sun greeted us as we packed up from our last camp site at Dillon State Park, Nashport, OH. Our trip is coming to an end.
We said goodbye to Darrell and Bonnie north of Wilmington at a rest area as we split heading to our own homes. Seemed odd not to have their camper ahead of us as we continued south on 75. What a trip! Thank you to the Schachts for sharing their time and experiences camping with us. After all the time we spent together our friendship grows greater! We are so blessed!Read more
