    Good tips. Of course I do find some irony in the top secret things in Bar Harbor when most was off the island lol. But I can say I enjoy Schoodic point and like getting away from the craziness. We’ve been going to MDI every year for almost 40yrs…. I like finding the unknown gems….

    Also if you’re burnt out on all the seafood. Head up from gouldsboro a few miles to the town of milbridge. There’s a Mexican takeout called vasquez. The family originally moved there to be close to the blueberry fields and harvest them in July and august. They have authentic Mexican food that is to die for. I used to live in milbridge.

    My brother and I use to go to schoodic almost every weekend when we lived there. Starting at the point, you can find an old stone wall and it runs for miles in through the woods and leads to an old house inland that’s being used by the college. But that’s my little local secret 🤫 😉 good video. Makes me miss home 🏠

      I would think eating out on the deck at bar harbor inn watching the boats would be amazing or just walking around town. Also if you can get up early the sunrise at cadillac mountain must be amazing. You just need to make reservations for it. Packing a lunch and eating on the rocks up there would be cool too. There is so much to do. 😁😁👍👍
