Monday, September 17, 2012 – Travel Day to Lamoine State Park near Bar Harbor

Thanks to some campers at Bradbury Mountain, we learned of a small State Park very near Acadia National Park called Lamoine. While they normally don’t take horses, they were willing to put us in their unused group campsite, while again only charging us for a single site. I’m really beginning to like Maine and it’s people, they are so accommodating and friendly, it’s remarkable! We headed off early again, only stopping once for fuel and once for a few things at Walmart. We arrived in the early afternoon and were guided by one of the several camphosts down to the site. Since it was technically a tenting area, we parked the vehicles in a parking area at the edge of the campsite, then put the horses out on their anchors in nice lush grass, which the park manager had instructed their volunteer lawn-cutters NOT to mow over the weekend so that our horses could graze on it… See what I mean about accommodating? The horses loved it, and happily munched away outside our patio door. We also found a very secluded spot hidden the woods perfect for their highline for their overnight security. We had everything set up, including satellite dish, by mid-afternoon, so we settled down for a relaxing rest of the day, looking forward to our ride at the much touted Acadia Carriage roads.
