Details

Join us for a week long adventure to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, Maine. From October 12 through October 19, we will lodge in a beautiful private residence along the shores of Sommes Sound, right in the midst of Acadia National Park. Daily trips to the seacoast and surrounding harbor towns. Nightly home cooked dinners including lobster boils.

This may be your last chance to visit Acadia National Park without having a paid reservation to visit each different location in the park. Next year you will be required to purchase individual tickets for entrance to the different locations. More information regarding this change to the park can be found in an article from Portland Press Herald on my blog here.

We’ll venture out for day long excursions to Bass Harbor, Corea and Prospect harbors, and other coastal towns, for outstanding local color. Great sunrise and sunset images with local light houses, coastal and harbor scenes.

For the super adventurous, or those with a lot of time on their hands, you can join me for the journey there and back. I’ll be driving and visiting a number of fantastic locations along the way there and back. This year, the trip will include a tour of the lighthouses of Lake Erie as well as some of the waterfalls of Upstate New York. Let me know if you are interested in a caravan or riding with me.

A deposit of $520.00 dollars for the lodgings is required to secure a space. The actual price, which will be higher, will be determined by the number of attendees and will be announced nearer to the time of departure. Total cost in past years has not exceeded $620.00. We can accept credit card payments, but prefer cash or check made out to the club. We get charged a fairly substantial amount for accepting credit cards through MeetUp, so, please contact Rick (513)314-3916 to discuss payment options and with any questions. More information will be forthcoming as we move forward.
