Bar Harbor Day 9 Sept 25th


The Acadia National Park is served by an extensive bus system. We took the bus from our campsite to the Visitor Center, stopping at a few pickups along the way. At the Visitor Center we hopped on a connecting bus. There are several routes you can take, all of which either return to the Visitor Center or to the center of Bar Harbor, called "The Green"(cleverly named as there is green grass in the vicinity). The bus system is "free" Inside the bus their is a notice that reads "To keep it free please consider a donation" So if everyone donated, is this still free. These are waxing questions to ponder. We chose the "Loop" route, which as the name implies, loops around the island After a few stops, we hopped off at "Sandy Beach" and hiked to the next stop. For this time of year there were a good number of visitors, many who were foreign. It was a good day. At the entrance of the KOA office and shop, there was this sign: "Clothes. Take 50% off" Was this an offer or an instruction? Any way, I kept mine on.
