You cannot pack for a long trip based on average hi - low Temperatures. Mathematically averages are a snapshot of the highest and lowest temp in a day for a given month.
The problem, the average temperature indicated that we would be in warmer temperatures. We packed at least 50%+ of our clothes for these warmer temperatures.
We should have packed more warmer clothes.
When the sun is out in Acadia National Park, it is in the 70’s, but when it is cloudy or after 5:00 PM it drops quickly into the 50’s. As I write, it is 56 degrees and everyone is inside their campers staying warm.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining about the weather, the days are in the 70’s, nights are cool for sleeping, very low humidity, and the only rain we have had since leaving home (during the day) was within 15 miles of our house in Medina, Ohio. All the rain have experienced has been at night when it does not effect our plans.
