Mount Desert Island has a split personality. The east side of the island is home to the town of Bar Harbor and the headquarters of Acadia National Park. Two days ago, we toured this part of the island, and there's lots of people and traffic. Yesterday, we drove the loop on the west side of the island, and what a difference. The locals call the west side, the "quiet side". We stopped at Bass Harbor and had a nice lunch at the Seafood Ketch Restaurant, on their deck overlooking the harbor. At another location, where I took the picture of Patty, we walked around the rocks and checked out a bunch of tide pools as the tide was on the way out. It was another beautiful day, temperatures around 90, and lots of sunshine. Today is our last day at Patten Pond RV Park, and I'm trying to make plans for heading south. We're certainly keeping an eye on Hurricane Bill that is heading for the east coast. As of last night, the forecast consensus is that it may brush the north Atlantic Coast, but is not expected to be a direct hit. Where ever it decides to go, may have a direct effect on our travel plans. Today, it's back to the town of Bar Harbor for some more exploring and sightseeing.
