Randy, Great job capturing the sounds of the sea birds and the waves, it feels like I am on the AMERICA’S PARK adventure. Sigh, I am afraid your judgement of lobster size is not going to earn you a job on a Lobster boat! That Bubble Trail is extremely rugged, and more like a rock pile. Great sunset!

Just came to Maine this week for the first time. In Bar Harbor right now as I type this. I'm also from Jersey; Maine and Acadia National Park is amazing. We hiked the Beehive trail today, after going out fishing in Southwest Harbor. It was a fishing trip/tour. We saw seals, sun fish, dolphins, fished and caught Mackerel and Pollock. On the way back it in, they pulled up their lobster traps and demonstrated everything. They caught enough lobster to give each person on the boat a lobster for no extra charge. We docked walked into Beal's right next to the dock and they cooked us our lobster for 3 dollars a pound. Best lobster I ever had. This place is unbelievable. Completely worth checking out. Also, great job documenting Acadia. The view from Beehive is indescribable. The picture hardly does it justice.

Hey Pastor, Just came back from Acadia where we climbed the South bubble. Interesting climb up then descended North Bubble and took a wrong turn. Ended up in a parking lot with a sign saying the shuttle does not stop here, please do not attempt to flag us down. Added about 1.5 miles, on the side of the road, to the hike. it was a 15k plus steps day according to the Garmin. Still a fun day. Ended up losing four lbs while on this trip. Who says God doesn't perform miracles !

You guys missed SO much from Acadia! There’s nothing from the quiet side of the island besides Bass Harbor. There is so much more there and has some of the absolute BEST hiking on the island. There are views there that are unparalleled and so much more rarely seen. Not to mention you guys were probably half a mile from a pair of nesting loons at JP. The nest was literally 10 feet off the Jordan Pond trail and the chicks were successfully hatched at the very beginning of August.

Hello. I just found your channel. I love all your video. I am looking to get out and explore more. Just wondering if your prefer to drive to your destinations or fly and do you always camp at your destinations? I am on the east coast. Acadia is an easy drive for us. We are flying to CA in October to visit some national parks. I'd love to go on more adventure but air fare, car rentals and hotels rooms add up fast. Thinking that Driving and camping might be the way to go to lighten up the budget a bit. Just wondering how you do it. Thanks.

@AmericasParks

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much, Kat, and great question! Folks have actually suggested I do a video on this! Driving definitely saves money, but you'll loose so much time in the commute to CA and back (we live in NJ). That will take a minimum of 6 days alone straight through. We fly to the Parks beyond the Midwest. Use Southwest Miles - covers most of my airfare. Also to save money it's always camping (versus hotels) and food out of the car (stock up at Walmart) - also hit places like Subway, etc. Basically food is a wash. After the car rental and Park Pass there is not a lot to spend money on. Hope it works out for you guys!
