Acadia National Park, Maine

We spent the day in Acadia Park.  There is a free shuttle bus that covers the island.  There is a stop at our RV park so started out on the bus.  Got off at Sand Beach.  We decided to walk to the next stop along the coast.  A beautiful walk

Candy and I found a bench along the way.

Ended the day at Bar Harbor.  It is a tourist town.  After walking down a street lined with shops we found the wharf.  From the wharf we could see people walking where we had seen water before.  Gary remembered reading about a sand bar so we decided to investigate.

This is what we found.  At low tide the land between the town of Bar Harbor and Bar Island is exposed and you can walk across.  turns out a lot of people knew about this bar and when to be there.  


Here we are on the other side.  Once on Bar Island we learned there was a 1 mile walk/hike to the top of the island.  This island is part of Acadia National Park.


the view back to Bar Harbor from Bar Island.  Our surprise for the day.
