We absolutely loved Bar Harbour last year.
We plan on being there Monday to Thursday at the Wonderview.
But alas the festivities for MOT have us leaving a day earlier to be in NH.
Maybe doing a ferry day trip when we get there.
If this appeals to anyone else, Get in touch with me.
You can have the best of both. If your flexible enough..

Weather & bugs in Bar Harbor in June ?

Could anyone who's been there, lives there, or went to last year's event comment on the extent of the black fly problem likely to be encountered in June ?

What might be the most effective bug spray ?

Also , what sort of temperatures are we likely to see in Maine in mid June- it probably will be chilly for the Cadillac sunrise drive ??

Finally, anyone got any thoughts on the black fly / bug problem likely to be encountered in Nova Scotia after the Bar Harbor event ??

Thanks guys

In my memory, there were no black flies in ME and the goofballs who wore shorts on Cadillac (hi, Pete) that AM probably won't do it again.

At least in NH, black flies are a May nuisance.

Hey! I resemble that remark . . .

Oh, wait a minute, that's someone else in shorts . . .

Return to Hudson Bay 2010 (and 2011) . . . not

I just booked my room at the Wonderview from the 15th until the wee hours of the 18th. Looking forward to doing the Acadia portion of MOT again, had a blast last year.

BTW anyone planning to drive up to Acadia from the Philly area on Tuesday or Wednsday?

Benjamin and I took a test run down east. We started in the LLBean factory Outlet parking lot. We soon passed the M.A.M.A animal clinic.
We followed Rt 1 down east (north), diverting down to the scoodic park on Rt 186, a great drive and great sight, the park is one way and fun to drive in the winter, I dont kn ow how busy the road will be in the summer. We passed the MAMAS restuarant on the way down.
Further up Rt1, we followed Rt 187 down to Jonesport and over on to Beals Island.
Even further up Rt1 we followed Rt 191 down to cutler.
That lead to Rt 189 to Lubec and Campobello island, Canada. We skipped West Quoddy Head because it got dark.
The trip up took us 5 hours, I have all the times and distances and hope to compile them soon. The full run would be too much for a day trip.
A run to Scoodic Point would make a great feeder to the Bar Harbor Invasion, either on thursday or the weekend before.
Keep up the banter on your intentions to visit Maine this summer
The run from Maine to NH last year was the most fun I have had in my 36,000 miles of Mini driving.

Sounds like a plan! Details please. I'll be arriving Acadia on Wednesday.
