Winthrop and Bar Harbor

We had a great time at Dave and Lynn Costas home in Winthrop Me.They were awesome hosts. We canoed,kayaked and Dave even took us on a tour of Lake Maranacook in his motorboat. We went out to dinner to a local color restaurant called The Liberal cup in neighboring Hallowell, ME. The locals who stop by often for a beer can earn a chance to have their own beer mug labled for them hanging above the bar. I think they have to drink 250 or so beers in one year to qualify.According to Dave and Lynn, Hallowell is considered the most liberal town in Maine, and now Bob wants to move there. We camped in Dave and Lynns back yard from Monday to Thurs then pulled up the jacks to head to Bar Harbor, ME and Acadia National Park. You had to be there to witness the process of extricating the Bus from their backyard. The gate had to be removed this time which gave about 3 more inches of width. But Dave did a great job in guiding Bob up the hill and through the gate. It came through without a scratch,-or so we thought. It wasn't until we got to the next campground that I noticed a piece of trim had come loose at the rear drivers side of the Bus. Minor considering the situation we had getting out of their backyard.
So here we are in Bar Harbor, ME. We arrived on Thurs afternoon. The campground we chose does not accept reservations and was full except for tent sites. The way it works here is you stay at a no hook-up site,get up the next morning and look for people leaving then put your car or a chair in the spot to indicate it is taken. Then you move your camper to the spot and let the office know where you moved to. That first night we somehow inadvertantly pushed a battery disconnect button which cut all power to the coach from our coach batteries leaving us with no lights. We ended up going to bed without supper because we couldn't see to cook anything. Some campers we are!! The following morning after moving the coach to our new site and with the help of a friendly Canadian we figured out what we had done and voila': electricity. Needless to say we won't forget where that button is or what happens if we push it.
Tomorrow we go exploring Acadia National Park.
