Seeking advice on trip to Maine

Hi there,

We're weest-coasters in the middle of a long-planned trip to New England with plans to head to Maine tomorrow. Our originally scheduled destination was Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Of course, the National Park may well be closed, depending on how long the government shutdown lasts.

So, we're looking for input from those familiar with the area. If we have four days to spend in Maine, do you recommend going to Bar Harbor even if Acadia is closed? Are there other areas you recommend?

We're interested primarily in coastal locations and places to get good Maine lobster, but are open to other suggestions if you have them.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
