Towed from Lyndonville, VT to Bar Harbor Maine to the KOA, nice ride through the White Mountains to the coast. 250 miles averaged 15 mpg. Really nice location and campground. Staff is really friendly!! ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

Looks like you are going to have some great weather this week Leo I hope the fishing is great also. Try Rosalie's Pizza in Bar Harbor and Jordan's Restaurant for blueberry muffins and pancakes. ------------- Ron & Sharon 2015 R-Pod 179 2022 Nissan Frontier No trees were harmed in the sending of this message but a billion electrons were really agitated |

Your killing me, Leo!! And Ron! We went back to Jordan's three times while we were @ Blackwoods. Twice, we picked up a couple or three pounds of steamers from Parsons and steamed them up in the campground. Even boiled some lobster...just cuz. Steamers, blueberry pancakes, popovers and seafood chowder, lobster and ice cream! Gotta love roughing it!! fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |
