Our 4th, and last day on Mount Desert Island, was spent in the small town of Bar Harbor. On the first day, we drove through town but didn't stop, because it was Sunday, and the crowds of people seemed to be huge. Yesterday, there were still a lot of people, but we found a parking place right on Main Street, and we window shopped up and down the several block long main tourist area. There were some unique gift shops, specializing in nautical items, and then there were the usual T-shirt stores. The village sits above Bar Harbor, which has a very picturesque marina area, that was full of activity. When you walk around town, you see all of the different state license plates on cars, and I think the majority of non Maine cars were from New York. I bet our jeep was the only Alaska plate in town, and caused there to be a comment or two. We have found that the Alaska plates on the motor home and jeep, are very often the conversation starter, particularly when we are in an RV park. This morning, we hit the road for about 3 days, before checking into the Thousand Trails Preserve in Hershey, PA. We'll be doing mostly motor home sightseeing, and hopefully, will be parked at Hershey, before Hurricane Bill decides whether to impact the east coast, or stay out at sea.
