October 4th - Day 18

Rode the free propane Island Explorer Shuttle bus to the Acadia National Park Visitor's Center from our RV Resort to buy our park passes ($5 each for pedestrians), watch the 15 minute video on the park history and sights, buy an Eastern Tree book and Acadia postcards and look around.

Took a second Island Shuttle around the Park Loop road for 26 miles to see the main park highlights to give us an idea what we want to come back to and hike and/or look into further. Doug enjoyed NOT driving for the first time in 17 (?) days. Wahoo!
This is a bridge John D. Rockefeller, Jr. donated to the park along with 16 others and 50 (?) miles of carriage roads open to horses, horse-drawn carriages (hope to do Friday), hikers and bicyclists only.

Back at RV Resort early-ish to walk Buster and fix an early dinner since we didn't eat lunch. Prepared garlicky shrimp scampi and brown rice and green beans with (turkey) bacon and onions. Pretty fantastic grub for 'camping'! Doug had two helpings - that's extremely rare!

Then I brewed some decaf drip coffee to have with our homemade apple pie a couple makes fresh and brings to the local RV Parks to sell. What a great entrepreneurial spirit. And at $16 a pie, they should be doing okay. It was delicious!
View from our RV site - that is the tree with fall color and the ocean just beyond.
