We are heading to Maine!

I remember Maine!  When I was a kid, mom and dad and my cousin Kitty and I went to Sebago Lake in the summer.  There were such great memories there and I often think of all the enjoyment I had in Maine.  So as we planned this trip to Canada, I was sure to be in Maine a few days. 
When we left with the RV, we were excited and anxious to get to our new destinations.  Driving up to Sebago Lake for the night was an interesting drive.  Our GPS seemed to be "off her rocker" and brought us all over the place.  Even with tolls, the GPS lady was "kooky". 
We were finally on the road headed to our campground and found what we thought to be our campground.  It seemed to be the right one, so we started to drive in.  The entrance seemed kind of narrow but we went in and, THEN realized we were in the wrong campground!  Now understand, we pull our car along behind our 40' Motorhome so it isn't a breeze to just turn around or definitely NOT back up!  We went to the office and explained we were in the wrong camp and needed to get out.  She pointed the way and Burl started around the corner.  We were all inside and heard .... crack... crunch... !  I yelled STOP!  Jumped out and checked out what was going on.  Well, it wasn't good; not good at all. 
On the corner there had been a HUGE wood planter in the shade and we didn't see it.  It tore off  the door that covers the electrical wires (the one we just paid to have painted and put on while in Ellijay) and it scraped the heck out of one of the doors.  The door that holds our lines for water etc.  I was sick!
The young man that worked at the campground got a large piece of machinery and dug out the plant holder so it wouldn't do any more damage.  We unhooked the car and I backed the car out and waited for Burl to get the RV out of that campground.  I was sick to my stomach!  Burl is so great.. he tried to talk about other things and not get mad and all that.  We  went into the next campground which was Naples Campground and it was wonderful.  We were placed in a pull-thru right next to the showers and bathrooms.  Good thing too, seeing we couldn't get the water hose out.   We had to use the facilities but that was okay.  It was a great campground and the people were wonderful.  We have even talked to them about possibly coming to their campground as 'work-campers' in a couple years.
We set up and headed to Rachels grandsons house about 20 miles down the road.  We visited there and saw the family.  They have 3 little children and it was a joy to see the new baby who was 5 weeks old.  As the evening set, we headed back to the RV.  It was chilly but not too bad.  (little did we know!)
Bedtime came quick as we wanted to get out early to head to Bar Harbor.  When we woke up, it was 8:00 a.m and 46 degrees!! Those night shades in the RV sure do keep the light out!  So we bathed in the showers the campground provided and used their bathrooms.  Thank God those people keep the bathrooms really clean!  We finally were ready and headed out ... on our way to Bar Harbor. 
The beginning of the trip was very long, especially when the GPS lady took us all around Robin Hoods barn!  We finally got on the Maine Toll Road but at least we were headed in the right direction.  We did stop off the road at a rest area that had food, gas and information.  We got a lot of books and information on the rest of our trip.
Up until now I had been excited, but reading the information on Bar Harbor and seeing what was possible to see and things to do, I was like a kid in a candy shop! We found out there was a "scenic route" to Bar Harbor and we took it.  It was wonderful.  I couldn't sit in the RV, so I let Rae sit up front with Burl.  I was up and down, taking pictures of anything I saw out the window.  Trees, water, sky, bridges, anything!  It was great! 
So here we are, at Mt. Desert Narrows Campground in Bar Harbor, ME!  What greets us as we enter, but a swimming pool!  We drive to our site and what greets us?  The OCEAN!  Yep, we have an ocean site!  I probably took 20 pictures of the ocean (low tide) and just smiled.  Its so beautiful.  We set up (Burl did finally pound open the door that held the water hose) and pulled out our chairs and tables and sat and looked.  We then walked down to the ocean, talked with people in the park, then sat down with a glass of wine, and watched the ocean.  How more perfect could a day be? 
Tomorrow we head out to Bar Harbor, Arcadia National Park etc.  We don't leave until Thursday.  I'll slowly put pictures up but right now... I'm tired!  Rae is already in bed and Burl is watching TV.  AND.. its Really Really COLD!!!   Heat is on... blankets are on the bed and warm pj's... Night all....
