Really?

That would be us...

I have heard that the weather can still be cold in June.. I was hoping
mid-July would be better. I imagine any "swimming" would probably be
done in a hotel or Inn. Is the temp (outside) still bad mid-July?

I know Canada has about 10 days of really beautiful weather
(..ok...I'm stretching it...but not by much...) but is Maine one of
those places that never REALLY gets warm?

I noticed how expensive things seem to be in Bar Harbor (brochures)
but certainly on the outside of the parks/cities there must be better
prices.

Sorry it was such a bad experience for you. I'm hoping that gleaning
information from those who have been will save me some of the
"disasters"
