Gunbelt goes to Bayside Maine

Beautiful scene.

You collect ears or on vacation?

Have fun and enjoy the eats.
 
We're at our summer house on Penobscot Bay. I'll get some pics as we're here for a couple weeks. Watch The Man Without a Face w/ Mel Gibson. You'll see our house & beach as it was filmed here.
 
Golly! That's purty.

Hope it's a fine time as long as you're there.
 
Sitting in Rollies bar waiting on my food. I don't eat lobster. I'll take my food back to Young's Lobster Pound & eat with everyone else on the dock.

I’ll take all the fresh you want to ship down.

When I lived in NH I went to visit my parents in FL. My mother absolutely loves Maine lobster so I bought six 3 pounders from the local lobster pound the morning of my flight. I told them I was flying and they packed them in styrofoam coolers. Each cooler fit two, so I had three coolers. Those three coolers barely fit in a GI duffel bag. Major logistical headache but I got it done for my mother who is a Saint because she talked my father the Marine Corps Sergeant into letting me grow up, and even that was a close run thing.

While in Florida, I had to make a run to the supermarket. Fresh Maine lobster in a live tank, only 50¢ a pound more than I paid.

:confused:
 
I went with family to Corea, Maine about 20 yrs ago to visit my mom’s cousin who was a boat builder up there. Absolutely beautiful country up there. Biggest mosquitos I’ve ever encountered were in A campground in Bar Harbor! Got to go out on my cousin’s lobster boat and run his trap line and I was amazed at how clear the water was. Hope y’all enjoy your time there.
 
Nice. My wife and I spent a week there one time. Pretty along the coast and I recall skeeters were huge and ferocious. We stopped at a little country store looking for bug spray and all they carried was the little orange bottles of 100% DEET.
 
Cool! Curt, do you have a translator with ya?

My grandmother's sister married Ben Hinckley, of Bar Harbor, known for Hinckley Yachts. They lived a dream. Retired to Clemmons, NC. Nice folks when they got old. But the Hinckleys didn't recognize non-blood relatives, nor out-of-state relatives, when they lived in Maine, so I only visited once when I was a wee lad.

Because when it comes to black flies (about a thousand times worse than mosquitoes), Mainiacs wouldn't even let tourists use something that doesn't work. DEET works. Period. It gives some people headaches, true. It'll take the finish off your rifle stock, my 788 woodchuck rifle to proves that.

Moose have been known to drown from going underwater to escape the insidious black flies. The first explorers declared the entire region unfit for human habitation because of them. You have Copperheads, Diamondbacks, Water Moccasins, Alligators and an entire half year you call the Screen Door to Hell season, but you are blessed to not know black flies.
