It is a nice place to live, but the increases in the number of tourists make summers a lot less pleasant.

@@todddunn945 I can see that, though the tourist is what helps then island flourish with its Park, Restaurants and Hotels. A while back some people wanted to either limit or straight up ban cruise ships, an idea I was vehemently against.

@@MDIGhost777 Well Bar Harbor did pass significant limitations on cruise ship that effectively bans the big ships. That ban will take full effect in 2025. They would have put the ban into effect this year, but the town had already accepted money from most of the cruise lines before the final court case played out.

The season has already started ramping up.

Thank you. Same to you.

Come on up.

My pleasure.

I am glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.

I am glad you liked the video. It is nice to have hot weather like yesterday and today. It is 60F today. I am doing well although yesterday was a bit of a down day because my little brother (71 years old) died Sunday night.

@@todddunn945 so sorry for your loss 🙏

@@Pensfan1618 Thanks.

You are welcome. Be prepared for parking fees ranging from $2 to $4 per hour for parking in Bar Harbor. Paid parking starts on May 15th. There will be no free parking in Bar Harbor except for where you are staying.

It will be more crowded on Saturday. I shot my video on Monday afternoon and thee are always more people on the weekend. Have a good visit.

Welcome. I will be shooting video tours of the towns on Mount desert Island this summer along with lots of other stuff.

Locals were out in shirt sleeves. I left my coat in the car and got sweaty walking around. The people in down coats are tourists.

The island definitely has some beautiful places.

You can drive up Cadillac Mountain too without a reservation.

@@todddunn945 oh right! I need to definitely do that!

It will be a lot more crowded now since now that Memorial Day is past the season is going strong.

Yes, it looked like Bar Harbor is open for the 2024 season. Except for the shore path.

I would put that breakfast off until August since right now you will get frozen blueberries from last year. Blueberries are always better when they are freshly picked.

It really picks up on the Memorial Day weekend so you should be OK until Friday afternoon.

Some days it is sunny, some not so much. I prefer to do things other than drive to Bar Harbor on nice days. Thanks for the web cam link.

Yes, the ban is on ships with more than 1,000 passengers, which is most of the ships. It has been in court for over a year, but the town won the first round of court cases over the winter. Some businesses are the people suing the town because of potential lost business.

@@todddunn945wow! I wasn’t aware the town was trying to ban cruise ships!

@@Pensfan1618 They passed an ordinance banning cruise ships with more than 1,000 passengers a couple of years ago. It has been held up due to legal challenges. Over the last few months the town won the first round of court cases and plans to enforce the ban starting in 2025 since they had already taken money from this year's ships.

It will get worse.

You can say that again 😁

With that being said. The family and I are going to be visiting OOB the beginning of June for the wife’s birthday.
