Bar Harbor Day 8 Sept 24

Bar Harbor was the next destination and we left it to Marilyn the GPS to get us there. Mistake.!! At the slightest provocation, she will take you where brave men fear to tread. She decided that the route would include every back road between Pemaquid and Bar Harbor. Blondes have a way of their own.We arrived at the Bar Harbor KOA and were immediately met by the KOA Nazi. She had us standing in a straight line, credit cards at the ready and "no talking " . Oh those pesky customers. They can be so difficult. Imagine asking questions. The temerity of it all. We were then handed over to the guide who leads you to your site in a golf cart, normal KOA practice. Except in this case the guide was fortunate to be driving a golf cart because he would surely not be age and / or sight eligible for a auto. Thank goodness for our very own traffic co-ordinator Colleen took over and guided. Crashes into the nearby trees and RV's were averted. As is our habit, we took a walk around the park. We came across Joe the Lobster man. Maine is well known for its Lobster and everywhere you go you can find this delicacy. Joe the Lobster man made the mistake of telling Faye that the Lobsters demise comes via a pot of boiling water. She is now working on creating the Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Lobsters.Tomorrow we will start exploring Acadia National Park, the most popular National Park in the country.
PS, Explanation of RV facilities for South African readers. The RV has holding tanks for fresh water, grey water(shower basins) and black water(use your imagination). There is a control panel that displays the level of the tanks. We were particularly bemused by the fact that the black water tank gauge is graduated in thurds ie 1/3 2/3 3/3.
