Friday: We started our day visiting with a salesman of Prevost RVs. They are outstanding and EXPENSIVE RVs. We looked at 2 used units that were absolutely beautiful but walked away satisfied we were in the right RV. When you have to spend $6000 to replace the tires and have 6 batteries to replace and the mileage is 5 1/2 mpg then you better be able to afford to own the vehicle. Our RV park is in a beautiful location. It is right on the water. Below are 2 pictures of the same scene; one at low tide and one at high tide.

We fixed lunch and gathered up our little family (Dixie, Dolly and Rojo) and went back to Acadia Park for the 3rd time. We took the rest of the park loop we had started but never completed. First we visited a wild flower garden and then walked on a boardwalk through the marsh.
We went from there to Thunder Hole. The shorelines are all made of granite and aren't easily worn away by the water. Thunder Hole is a hole in the granite that is an undercut and when the water rushes in it makes a loud pop that sounds like thunder. The worse the weather and waves the louder the noise. It was beautiful the way the water rushed in the narrow isle in the granite.
We went back to the RV and Bill built a fire and we sat around it for a while then had dinner and watched a movie.
Sat.: Saturday was a day of mostly driving. We left the Bar Harbor area and traveled west to the New Hampshire border. We camped in a small campground (Stony Brook) in Hanover, ME. One good thing that occurred is that we got our cell coverage back. Yea! The drive was beautiful. We traveled on Rt. 2 across Maine. Rt 2 is a two-lane road through the countryside.
You got great pictures of Thunder Hole. The Maine coastline reminds us very much of Washington state. The weather must be pretty cool. Since we've been home its been very nice, high 70's today and tomorrow in the 80's. Isn't it good when you get your phone service back! Safe travels.
