Our time at Mount Desert Narrows ended Monday. We had signed on for the full season, May15 to October 14, and together with one other couple who stayed to the end, we closed down the campground for the season. With Acadia National Park closed since the...

Our days are winding down here at Mount Desert Narrows. Two weeks left. I feel as if I've left so much un-done. The weather has been partially to blame, it really wasn't an extremely nice summer in this area of the country. It has been very wet, especi...

The past week we've been on the morning shift, which means our work day is over around 3:00 in the afternoon. The weather has been wonderful, finally, so we've had a few hours each afternoon to play in the park :-).The month of August presented us geo-...
