Great day. Hurricane gone and Portland only got moderate rain and wind. Scattered power outages, but we escaped it all.
We visited Rockland Maine known as Lobster capital of the world about 10 years ago when we were here. They had done lobsters like Blacksburg did Hokie birds and had then in a cool park.They are all now less in number and beth stands beside one of the saved ones. Town eventually got tired of them and redid the town park. Now a RITE AID. ??? Progress????
Objective today was another Lobster pound. We found several and selsected Young's outside Camden Maine. This place had 100'sof lobster all sizes in holding tanks. We picked two and again very good.These lobster pounds are impressive places.
Outsude if Bucksport Maine we crossed a new bridge-- Penobscot Narrows bridge. I also is a observatory at the top. 42 stories tall--empire state bldg about 102.Built 2006. First bridge observation tower in the country and highest in the world. Pictures look out over Penobscot River.
We are continuing up route one and should reach Lubec Maine on Tuesday.
