My honeymoon was in Bar Harbor. I loved it! Had a cabin looking out to Cadillac Mountain. It's gorgeous.

Shame it won't be summer. The Rockefellers had an estate there that burned down years ago but they have two full time gardeners that keep the gardens primo.

There is a lot of antique carved stone artwork from Korea and China that John D. brought back in his travels. Beautiful flower beds, semi-private quiet spots with stone benches and even a Moon Gate in one wall.

The family likes to visit when they are in town or anchored in the harbor. The Bush family used to hang there too... maybe that's why it's called BAR Harbor.

Bar Harbor is the last place I ever went camping. It was back in 1989. It was beautiful then. It was in August and it rained a lot but it was still a great place.
Of course, finding a place where you could get a 2Lb lobster, crab legs, baked potato, corn on the cob and biscuits for $10.00 was cool too. :-)

The thing I remember about camping in Bar Harbor was the couple in the campsite next to us from Quebec. They didn't come out of their tent more than twice the whole weekend. They were busy with other things. Very busy. And that woman was vocal. Tent walls don't do anything to stop the travel of sound.

LabRat · 02-01-2007, 03:41 PM

Perry Winkle · 02-01-2007, 05:53 PM

Sometimes someone gets the urge to pet a small furry animal.

That's where I come in.

My name's Friday. I carry a badger.

Duh duh duh duh...

I didn't get it at first. I thought it was written in American (like Grant's).

Then I went back to my spreadsheet and almost choked on my own phlegm. It was all the better for the satellite delay I promise

Wasn't sure if 'cross the ponders would get the reference! :p

For me it's from the film & not the series, but it works either way
