Schoodic Point Maine

It has rained for the past couple days so we haven't gotten out much to take photos but we did get down to Schoodic Point the other day and hiked some of the trails.  Here are a few photos from that day.

First Trip With New Camper

We are in the middle of our first trip with the new camper.  We spent a few days at a campground near Brunswick, Maine and we are now at Schoodic Woods, a part of Acadia National Park.  Schoodic Woods is one of the nicest campgrounds we have been in.  The sites are large, spread out and mostly pull-throughs.  This is a fairly new campground that is in the lesser known part of Acadia National Park that is not on Mount Desert Island.  So far no major problems with the camper - had a few minor things that needed adjustment or minor repair but nothing serious.  We are still working on re-installing everything we had on the old camper - solar panels, wifi antenna, etc. -  hope to have this all done this week.
