And then on to the main town for this part of Maine, so to speak… (Bar Harbor itself):
And finally a fly-over of the BHB airport:

A TripAdvisor comment from Debi J, a September 2020 visitor:
NO social distancing at all!!!!! NO masks on staff, cooks or register persons or CUSTOMERS. Customers place take out orders and stand right next to the check out register while they wait for their food to be prepared. No limits to how many people may enter in the store, they had about 20 people in a tiny store, no way you could social distance if you wanted to. STAY AWAY IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN HEALTHY, IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME, UGH!!!

The series continues… near the peak of foliage season (mid-October) we decided to fly from Boston to Bar Harbor, Maine, following the shoreline, in a Robinson R44 helicopter. Tony Cammarata was in back with a door removed (frosty!) and a Nikon D850. Instrument student Vince Dorow was with me in the front seats.
After departing Bath, Maine to resume the shoreline…

Bath, Maine, home of Bath Iron Works. In the images below, you’ll the USS Lyndon B. Johnson. He got us into the quagmire of the Vietnam War and this destroyer got taxpayers into a quagmire of cost overruns and delays. Out of 32 ships ordered, 3 were (sort of) completed.
