I want you both how much I appreciate you making the importance of wearing masks a priority. Our country is slipping backwards in the fight against COVID. Let’s please take care of one another. THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE! I’m high risk like Tara and I appreciate you making a bold statement.

[@esousa486]

Chad & Tara .... Your MAINE videos have to be some of your BEST posts ...... The scenery, the food spots by the shoreline, the hikes, Rides on Lucille, and even the choice of music you added ..... just "AWESOME" !!!!

[@cindymaesilva47]

I absolutely adore your channel. Thanks for taking us along. Maine is awesome. I love all of it. New England is great area of the U.S.

[@jimjohnson4112]

Another great video! Thanks for taking us along.

[@bobpurs]

Nice views. Beautiful area.

[@erikajennings9040]

Good for you for doing all the right things to protect yourselves and others as you travel.

[@reed4adventures469]

We were at Acadia 2 weeks ago and bike the Park Loop Rd. Best part of the trip by far. Absolutely beautiful.

[@diannecerling4106]

We stayed at the KOA outside of Acadia 3 or 4 years ago with a site right along the ocean...AWESOME! The sunsets were unbelievable!

[@ACKCSC2024]

Your adventures make me smile. Always positive and up beat Great job nice music selection too!

[@richardbetzwieser6899]

We stayed at the Oceanside KOA. The Lobster dinner I had there was one of the best I've had in Maine. Excellent pie also! The owners were awesome too.

[@n1uno1965]

So happy to see you both so happy! 👍🏻

[@terrysimpson4484]

Glad to see more of Daisey

[@cricket1302]

Awesome video of Maine- makes me homesick. You are closer to the sky there.

[@deannalewis1439]

I love seeing Miss Daisy Love Maine and you did the right thing by leaving the restaurant you have to protect your health.

[@ronnie6508]

Always good to see you guys and little Daisy. Maine is definitely a beautiful state, awesome scenery. It's a different world out there so stay safe and take care of Daisy.

[@patirving1461]

Hello we live in the area straight across from Belfast is Castine we do Bar Harbor spring and fall stay away in the summer cuz of the crowds looks like you guys had a great time that was our summer July is about it

[@larrydial4967]

KOA at Acadia national park. We stayed there in the late spring in 2015, that was two RVs ago. It was pretty great then also, but cold. did some shopping at the LL Bean outlet store near the entrance. .

[@tw3609]

Awwww Daisy gets to go on an adventure. She's too cute!!! 🐶🐶🐶

[@scaa22]

Stayed at the KOA on fathers day. Great campground. Site 36. We live in Bucksport. By the cable bridge. You forgot to stop and check out our town.

[@jaytomson7052]

I like seeing these new RV friendships so much!!!

[@tim9324]

Love Acadia. I believe the Gorham Trail connects to the Beehive Trail which is an awesome climb but probably too much for Tara. Thanks for the preview of the KOA.

[@stevefledderman4740]

It’s awesome!

[@alanwortham6413]

Another great video. Heck the view out the window behind you was awesome as well. Just got home from a m/c trip to the NC mts. trees looked a lot like that.

[@daveS01826]

KOA is a great location, used to be able to rent kayaks right there, on sight lobster is new. We stay up the street Baar Harbor CG. hiked Gorham Mtn back to Sand Beach, then there is a trail along the water back to the trail head.

[@amyjones5584]

Absolutely adore you two , love your video's and your content . I recently got my husband to start watching and he loves the maintenance video's you put out Chad , he said that you are thorough when you explain thing and he believes that you truly trust the product you tell people about . He just had me order him the Viair 400P-RV . Thank you for helping make him a believer in our soon to be full timers { 11/16/20 } . Stay well and travel safe .

[@bryanreeser4630]

We just stayed at Oceanside KOA a month ago, for a week. Amazing place and amenities, love the views and activities.

[@flyermarkbig465]

It is the videos like this that remind me of how much I want to see in this great country. Right call on leaving the mound. Not worth the risk with people not wearing masks correctly. Do what is best for your health. Enjoy the journey. Safe travels.

[@joycemoses2411]

Beautiful!

[@caravanstuff2827]

It's good that you guys are aware that daisy is a small dog with little legs and as such has to walk really fast to keep up when she walks!...I get so angry when I see selfish small dog owners running there poor pets raged just because they have no empathy or just don't care!!....she's blessed to have a family like you two.💕😎🇺🇸 .

[@DOUGG4600]

We were advised to climb the beehive trail ( only 8/10 of a mile ) with a Rottweiler in tow for a great view of sand beach ,, got almost 3/4 of the way and had to turn back .. Gunther the Rottie doesn’t climb ladders ,, but the view was amazing above sand beach at 3/4 mark

[@ricks.1318]

The Beehive is the BEST trail in Acadia .... hands down !

[@travelvibechasers4866]

Wow beautiful!!! Hope we run into you guys one day we went full time a year ago and we are so great full of the videos you put out they truly help

[@regisravassard658]

Hello again a nice video with good content, thank you for sharing all this with us thank you for your good humor and take care of yourself👍👍🤙🤙❤❤

[@bernadetteolsen2517]

I’m enjoying your adventures. Tom and Sheri mentioned you in a video of theirs. The quality and content of your adventures are pure enjoyment! Thank you, from Thunder Bay, Canada.

[@robinowen3058]

Beautiful view from the top! I bet Daisy had a grand time on your hike😄

[@altraynorea2170]

We went to the KOA in Bar Harbor a few weeks after you shot this video in August. Your video footage actually went right by our site. We had a great time there. There were a few toy hauler fifth wheels around the size of yours there. We also did takeout at the traveling lobster on the same trip. Keep up the great work!

[@timinsandiego6979]

Maine "is" great. Happy travels!

[@Pawoodsman]

We had planned on going to Maine for our 25th wedding anniversary in July. We stayed at Bar harbor for our honeymoon. We couldn't have quarantined, Maybe another year. When we were there they had lobster shacks along the road and was reasonably priced.

[@zanityrose5512]

Thanks for sharing again and again!

[@josephsener420]

Absolutely love lobster roles!

[@nancyjones6784]

Awesome video. I stumbled across this after just returning from visiting my father who lives in Maine. He lives about one mile north of the campground you stayed in. In fact you probably walked on his beach/backyard. Thank you for making such good videos.

[@teamnash55]

When we hike we each have a hiking stick. Helps immensely for balance especially for us being over 60.

[@RV_There_Yet]

Likewise I assure you!

[@autumngypsie4280]

Thanks for doing Acadia... I'm planning on a overnight for next summer... We're about a 3 1/2 hr drive away... we're in western Maine now and have been for almost 20yrs. Its about time we did the northern coast... we've done the southern coast as we lived old orchard beach for 18 months in 02/03 😁😁😁

[@TheLobo91]

We love that trail. You just went on the bottom fork but they reconnect. Half the fun is getting lost.

[@cheryl2455]

WOW! Awesome. Couldn’t do the trails but so enjoyed watching you! So fun! Lovely trip!

[@fullmylegroundsllcmyles970]

Only way to truly see the beauty of Bar Harbor is to hike. So awesome there👌💪✌

[@Streetdawg02]

Small world, my father helped construct/electrical “wire” the Penobscot Narrows Bridge & Observatory. Thanks for sharing and I believe it’s a sign to move back to Maine. In addition, went to Young’s over 20 years ago too. Obviously different management at the time! Love downtown Belfast. Great 🍺 and food. Did you make it to the Chocolate Drop Candy Shoppe in Belfast? Best root beer floats and 50s-60s themed setting. Pretty close to the Harbor Walk across from the Dockside Restaurant. Great trip down memory lane. Keep it up, y’all rock!

[@docholiday1034]

So torn being a new RVer as we ride the bagger all thru these areas....now have to leave it home. Going to be tuff leaving any of my 3 bikes home. Nice video and reminding us what we missed last year....hung the keys up to the peterbilt now just retired tourists. Videos have helped a lot. Thank you.

[@golfnut2599]

we went on a cruise of the northeast that left out of new york and acadia was one of our stops, seeing that lobsta had me drooling all over my shirt, great video, stay safe

[@susandvorak4585]

Great pics of your time here, thank you.

[@lynnmorin9771]

Welcome to Maine!!

[@JHA6100]

Love your videos Chad & Tara. So glad to see you taking caution with C19. Thanks for sharing your lives & journeys. 💜

[@ciraloke]

Those e-bikes you mentioned previously would be awesome on the railtrails.

[@gregprince2523]

Love the music in the vid!! Your audio is pretty good also, not much fade in fade out. Makes it soooooo much easier to follow! I see you do have a pooch pouch! Well Done Guys Awesome stuff

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks! 😀 Tara spends a LOT of time tweaking audio because we hate that up and down also!

[@MarkBrown-uf8ct]

Beautiful. I love Maine. haven't been there since 2009 when I hiked Mt. Katahdin. Great vid guys! Thanks!!

[@HetteshWorld]

Thanks for the note on the caterpillar. I didn't know and I'm very sensitive to all kinds crap. I love Daisy she is precious. She travels on the motorcycle so well. We can't wait to get back to Maine. Probably 2022 for us. Last time we were there our kids were little so probably 2005. How long ago was this? I was curious with the Covid test.

[@davidgreenlees8120]

Y'all need to get more exercise! My wife and I hiked the Gorham trail last year and I was 67 and my beautiful wife 10 years behind me. No problem. But we still love you guys...especially Daisy!

[@marciatesch3951]

You guys make the best videos. Very professional. Makes me want to go there.

[@Siggyroka]

On our To-do list for sure

[@VARider1]

Rode through Belfast, ME on my way back from Bangor, ME road trip on my BMW R1200R in 2018. Told the wife when I got back we have to do a vacation there. Just a perfect seaside town.

[@deyaneria]

nice to see you guys enjoying my backyard :)

[@heatherwalters3375]

LOL! That easy in Maine. Coming from Ohio when we first did Acadia 4 years ago we shared your opinion! After 4 years of hiking in Maine our definition of "technical" and "moderate" has changed. Hope you loved Acadia! One of my favorite places in the world.

[@adameckhart5559]

Love the vids keep up the good work your doing well

[@backforty4276]

Nice job on another video. Trish & I hope to check out Maine and The finger lakes region of NY some day soon. It was great getting to meet you guys @ The Great Outdoors, we hope our paths cross again sometime. ps Thanks for the swag.

[@ChangingLanes]

Great meeting you also! 👊🏼

[@roadhog6603]

We hiked the same trail last fall 2019. Recommend looking at AllTrails app. You can download the trail map on you smart device a so that you can see exactly where you are as you move.

[@ChangingLanes]

We have the app.... but neglected to use the offline feature... Next time for sure!

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

Great tour. We were lucky enough to book early for our 2022 trip and got a site right by the water $$. Making lots of notes from your travels.

[@travisgentz794]

Loving the hat Chad!! Just put in my application to join as well.

[@deborahklinlger8565]

love Maine & New England.

[@donbruder6838]

The fall colors up there are amazing, we were there in October a few years ago !!

[@ernestcrowder9715]

Stayed at the Oceanside KOA Bar Harbor in August 2015 was a great KOA they did not have the food truck, but there was a tent with fresh cooked lobster very enjoyable. Would definitely return one day and stay at the KOA again. Bar Harbor is great and very dog friendly.

[@bevtrue6937]

Fog? Cold? You are in MAINE!! WHAT CHA SPECT?

[@louheindel8673]

Love Moorings. We stayed there 2019...unfortunately had to cancle (Covid) our August month 🥵🥵. So fun to see it all again. Hoping for 2021!! Thanks guys. Great video

[@roadtrek8951]

Try loving Maine in the middle of the winter in a sleet storm! I was born there and we spend 4 months there right in the center of maine every summer. The best way to get perfect lobster-and cheaper-is go order it at a Hannaford grocery store. They will steam it for you. Take it back to your rv and eat outdoors.

[@fletchlivesdaily348]

Cant wait to get there...3.5 years to go. Great vid!

[@krissto22]

Those small towns remind me of the small towns on the Leelanau Peninsula in Michigan. You would love it there if you never been there. We would love to go to Maine, but it’s little far from us, hoping some day we will. Great video as always, and little Daisy is so cute 🌸💕

[@lornadeboer7346]

Acadia is a beautiful park!

[@LifeonOURtime]

Beautiful coastlines and scenery. Is she okay in the backpack for longer periods of time?

[@ChangingLanes]

She seems to be... That was about 3 hours.

[@CoolRVEverything]

Looks like an outstanding trip, that’s for showing.

[@plcmundim]

But what a beautiful ride, I can't say if Tara, Lucille or Daisy was the most beautiful (laughs). I wish you all the best!

[@Tryke_Ryder]

The sound tracks accompanying your videos are always awesome! Great video, and I hope things open up more in the coming years...

[@josiedoe7935]

Beautiful country side. I have never been to Maine so was great to see through your eyes. Loved that Daisy got to go along. She is a cutie.

[@JC-tm6wh]

Man that food looks good.

[@CookieMonster_1969]

I haven't been in New England since 1989, I had forgotten how quaint it is when you get away from the cities. Thanks for a great ride down memory lane. I am craving a lobster roll now, not much chance of getting one around Kansas City though....

[@megaviper1999]

You guys a great thanks I've-enjoyed traveling this area many times..

[@pete70962]

You guys are great. Thank you so much. Looking forward to retirement to enjoy our time with RVing. Soon very soon already at 35 years in LE.

[@ChangingLanes]

Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸

[@davidbottles3035]

Been waiting on the edge of my seat. It’s here. Spent the week washing and inspecting the camper for a big trip. Going to meet our new granddaughter in Texas. As COVID is ramping up again we will really be cautious. Enjoyed another great video. Safe travels guys.

[@toddramsay977]

Daisy is soooooo precious in her doggles. So glad she got to go explore with y'all. I loved taking our morky with us on trips and hikes. She'd practically pull us down the trail and the stop when she smelled a chipmunk or mouse under a log. LOL

[@TomSpurlock]

Nice episode. We plan to be there in Maine a year from now. I wish my dog tolerated the Flowbee like yours.

[@greensnapper1602]

Looks nice will have to add it to our list.. Thanks

[@fishaddict2]

Started watching Changing Lanes for the "how to" stuff initially as a novice RV'er. Then, I really found their travelogue videos very interesting. But bottom line is, they do an excellent sound track! Can't wait to get back on the road in April!

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks and Welcome to our channel! 😊

[@timmurr1672]

We stayed at Ocean Side KOA two years ago and it was great. The staff was very nice and helpful and the food was great.

[@toddramsay977]

We've been to Acadia twice. We had to go back and make it a point to get up early to see the sunrise on top of Cadillac Mountain. It is a sight to see in a lifetime. There is Seawall CG in southwest harbor on Mt Desert Island has the best Blueberry Pie you will ever eat. I kayak fish and the CG in quieter than the rest. Great video!

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks for the tips! 👍🏼

[@FROMKYLE2U]

Omg - I loved this vlog.... I’m from very near Bar Harbor but I live in Vegas now... in July I drove over to the “big hole in the ground” as Chad called it in another vlog(Grand Canyon for those that missed it) I miss Maine and lobsta so much ..... Thanks for sharing this !

[@seabliss22]

Wow!!! The woods bursting with color through your window background looks like a painting!!! Where was that filmed!?

[@ChangingLanes]

That was in Franklin, NC. 🍁

Awesome video, we love Maine

This is great! We're heading to Maine in September 2022 and going to try and book at Mornings Campground.

[@randyowens2717]

Love you all!

[@sherriweber7105]

Love this video of Maine m! What a beautiful town and State. I thought that Daisy looked so cute riding with you and hiking. She’s a cute little dog. I would take her anywhere.The hiking looked like fun. The Lobster looked good too. Glad your Covid test came out good for you to get out and explore. Stay safe.

[@christinedorbert4615]

We are still researching which 5th wheel to buy and we live in Maryland. I hear a lot about watching bridge clearances especially in the North East. Are there a lot of low clearances around Maine? Just curious. We LOVE the North East coast & cannot wait to start RVing so we can head up that way! Thanks for making great videos! Stay safe!

[@ChangingLanes]

Low clearances here and there all over.. Measure your RV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3LYiXt8ha2Yeas And use an RV Aware GPS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oafMl6NjgcmlaKM

[@50nicklee]

You passed by my families place in Bayside. Such a magical place and lots of good times on the back porches of these places.

[@gregprince2523]

You guys need a puppy carrier for the little dudette!! front facing so she can see where shes goin.... like a baby pouch maybe?? Sounds like a million dollar idea if there's none out there for our pooches

[@ciraloke]

Yum!!
