Abstecher in die Natur
1 juli 2021, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Bevor es für uns in die großen Metropolen Ostamerikas geht, zogen wi, nach nur einer Übernachtung in Boston, bereits weiter nach Maine. Dort buchten wir uns eine kleine Hütte auf einem Campingplatz. Wir machten einen Ausflug zum Acadia National Park, welcher uns sehr an die Zeit in Cape Breton erinnerte. Schöne Küsten und Wälder, aber leider auch viele Touristen. Auch einen Abstecher nach Bar Harbour, welches ich vorher noch nie gehört hatte, machten wir. Ein Kleines, stark vom Tourismus erfasstes, aber dennoch wunderschönes Dorf. Wir schlenderten durch die Straßen und schauten ein wenig in die unzähligen Läden. Nachmittags ging es wieder zurück zu unseren Campingplatz, wo Verena und ich uns ein Kajak mieteten. Mit kommender Flut fuhren wir los, kreuz und quer durch die Bucht, welche eher wie ein See aussah. Wir sichteten einige Vogelarten und auch zwei Robben, welche ab und zu schauten, warum Verena und Ich so laut diskutierten.

Bei strömenden Regen packten wir unsere Rucksäcke am nächsten Morgen und fuhren unseren kleinen Ford Fiesta zurück mach Boston.Meer informatie

Drive to Bar Harbor
27 september 2017, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
We passed through customs at 8:00 am. The border patrol went back twice to check our plate. He smiled when he returned the second time and said "And Pioneer plates too."
We were on a Scenic Byway called Old Canada Road. Jean took some good photos which you will see below. There were multiple moose crossing signs along the highway. I wanted to see a moose; Jean did not. About 140 miles into the drive, the skies became overcast and we drove through a heavy mist for about 20 miles. 40 miles from Bar Harbor, the skies had cleared. The temperature in Bar Harbor is in the low 60's; comfortable after the past few days of heat. There was a roadside timber retaining wall just north of Moscow, Maine that the residents decorated with birdhouses. The roads through northern Maine provided the best "drive" of the trip so far. Beautiful scenery. We arrived in Bar Harbor around 2:30 and moved luggage into our room. We walked to a cafe known for their lobster rolls and we shared one. Ooh...good! We are about 2800 miles into our trip.Meer informatie

Bass Harbor Light Station
29 september 2017, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
About 12 miles from Bar Harbor lies Bass Harbor's Light Station. This lighthouse has the distinction of being the most photographed lighthouse in Maine. The lighthouse is still in operation and the residence attached to it is occupied by an active Coast Guard member.
After leaving the lighthouse; we stopped at the Seal Cove Auto Museum. The museum chronicles the 15 year debate of whether to allow automobiles on the island starting around 1900. It also displays about 100 early autos and motorcycles. The displays of the autos and the yarn of the debate made for an interesting stop.
We had a late lunch at Bar Harbor Inn and then some maintenance on the car filled the rest of the afternoon. Checked and topped the lube in the differential and overdrive. Greased the chassis and adjusted the brake wedges a couple clicks.Meer informatie

We entered Acadia early to avoid the crowds and opted to drive up Cadillac Mountain first. We then spent the day completing the loop drive.
