Bah Haba or as we would say in California English, Bar Harbor.

 

Bar Harbor, and the surrounding small towns, were a terrific 5 nights of eating and exploring!  Unfortunately, we couldn't go in to Acadia Park, but we got around most of the island and really enjoyed the scenery.

About the last two pictures. Acadia National Park is in the Bar Harbor area and was on our list to see while we were here. Unfortunately our government had a different plan. Along with all the national parks, monuments, and recreation areas such as Lake Mead and Lake Powell, are all closed. These gems scattered across our country belong to us. They were set aside for generation after generation to experience. our governments job is to be the custodians to preserve these areas forever. They do not own the parks, we do. it is our natural born right to be able to enjoy them. The reason or fault is not important, but this government has decided to close off all of these areas from us. Barricade the entrances, furlough the rangers, and even lock are the restrooms. The public always seems to end up on the short end of the stick. We are now in Freeport, Maine and in a few weeks  will be in  Washington, D.C. If what ever the reasons for the closers are not fixed, I guess we will  by pass the capital and miss all are of the monuments. I can probably keep writing for pages but that would be boring, so that's all I have to say about that.     ~~ Ron
