That rain that we were expecting last night? Well...it started around 3:00AM, and it's still raining when Ed and I are up around 8:00AM. Hiking in this kind of weather is not an option...so...we decide to spend the day in Bar Harbor.
Bar Harbor is a tourist town, but it's not nearly as "tacky" as we expected. At one shop, I'm able to get an Acadia National Park sticker for the camper; at another, a t-shirt and ball cap with the Park logo.
Ed and I settle into a place called "Geddy"s" for cocktails, then stay for lunch because they have WiFi. It's another double cheese pizza for lunch, but Ed opts for Gumbo. We're able to post a little on the blog until their Internet connection shuts down late in the afternoon.
Back at camp, the rain has stopped, but it's still cold and damp. We "cobble" together something simple for dinner and build a roaring fire to ward off the elements. It's an early night...tomorrow, we're off to Canada!
Ed's Sidebar, Day 10:
The energy gauge settles toward zero. Could use a good baseball game on TV. Need to find a TV first.
Many tents around Bar Harbor. Looks like an Indian village in the woods. People of all ages walking in circles, tent to tent. Primitive. Even in frigid Maine, we find some clues to the Stonehenge mystery.
Define the term 'lobster': one gigantic mutation later adapted for Japanese horror flicks.
Foraged today for firewood and provisions. Cold front continues. Discontent grows in our party. We talk of turning south along the Appalachian Trail. Likelihood of scurvy increases daily.
