For those of you who haven't a clue about the Bar Harbor Invasion, here's what it is all about. It's basically a pre-MOT meetup in Bar Harbor, ME, that will begin on Wednesday, June 14 and finish on Saturday, June 17, but you're free to arrive at anytime before Saturday morning. If you have the time, plan to spend a few days in Bar Harbor because there's a lot to do and you'll be well rested for Saturday. I actually like the Bar Harbor portion more than MOT!

I recommend staying at the Wonderview Inn: http://www.wonderviewinn.com/. They have hosted us the previous two years and are both MINI and pet friendly. You can, however, stay where you like, but the Wonderview Inn is where most of our activities will start from.

Wednesday, June 14:
- 6:00PM Informal get together at the Wonderview Inn.

Thursday, June 15:
- Free Day: explore Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, take a drive down east on Route 1 to New Brunswick, Canada, etc. There's plenty to do. Or just relax!
- 6:00 PM Group Drive to Dinner at The Burning Tree: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restauran...bor_Maine.html. It's one of my all time favorite restaurants ever!

Friday, June 16:
- 7:30 AM Breakfast at Jordan's Restaurant: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restauran...bor_Maine.html. If you like blueberry pancakes and bottomless cups of coffee, this is the place.
- 9:00 AM Group Drive around Acadia National Park: http://www.nps.gov/acad/home.htm.
- 12:30PM Lunch at Thurston's Lobster Pound: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restauran...bor_Maine.html. You can't get lobster any fresher than this and the blueberry pie a la mode is good too.
- 2:00 PM Post Lunch Group Drive around the park or drive back to the inn and relax.
- 5:00PM Happy Hour at the Wonder View Inn. Bring a six pack of your favorite brew or whatever.
-6:00 PM Group Drive to Dinner at Jack Russell's Steak House and Brew Pub:http://www.bhmaine.com/JRPrimary.html. Don't worry about the driving, it's a short distance from the Inn. Actually it's less than a quarter mile.

Saturday, June 17
4:15 AM Ouch! A pre-dawn drive to Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park to view the sunrise and then it's off for a group drive to Loon Mountain in Lincoln, NH and meetup with the MOT festivities. The day ends with a sunset drive to the top of Mount Washington. By attending the Bar Harbor Invasion you'll get to see the sun rise and set from the top of two mountains in two states. It's a long day, but it's well worth it.

So that's pretty much it. Trust me, you won't be disappointed if you decide to join us.

Cheers, Harper.
