12/28-30 - Location: Sunday River
We’re off to a great start in Hobbes! We headed out of NJ on 12/28 for New England. Stopped along the way to Maine in Salisbury Recreation area on the border of MA and NH for a quick jaunt along the beach. I don’t know who was more excited to be out of the car and in the fresh ocean air- us or Rooney. The three of us had big smiles across our faces as we took in the views and ran along the water.
As we drove into Sunday River we caught the end of the fireworks display. It was pretty impressive! After Rooney won over the the security officer who did not like that we intended on camping out in one of the lots, we set up and watched the snow pile up. We woke up to 18” of freshies and quickly got up to the lifts. The windy weather forced the resort to close down the upper lifts, meaning lift lines got pretty long. Feeling like we fulfilled our east coast powder dreams, and not wanting to spend time in lift lines, we cooked up lunch in the van while packing up to move on.
Destination: Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park
