Drove all day. Got in before dark.
As we came out of the mountains, there’s more people and more traffic. Even in the Acadia National Park area, there are more people than we expected considering it’s near the end of the season. We stayed outside the park because all campground sites were booked.
There are free shuttles that not only go around the park but stop at nearby campgrounds and go through Bar Harbor so people can leave their cars outside the park. We picked a nearby campground that was along the shuttle route so we could leave the RV and still see the park. Bicycling on the roads and highways wasn’t really an option.
Walked to Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound for dinner to find out what a Lobster Pound was.
WHAT’S A LOBSTER POUND? A lobster pound is a place that sells live or cooked lobster by the pound. First, you tell them what size lobster you want (small, medium, large). They pick a live lobster that size, weigh it, give it a number and put it in a net bag (if you want it cooked). They take the bag and place it in a barrel of boiling water for 20-22 minutes. When it’s done, they serve it to you in a roasting pan with whatever sides you’d ordered. It’s up to you to crack, clean and eat the lobster. It was fun and interesting. Neither of us think we like lobster enough to do it often.
