Driving into Maine, our northern goal, we encountered hills, boulders, endless evergreen trees and rain. It felt much like the coastlines of
Washington State or BC.

Bar Harbor, a famous tourist spot outside Acadia National Park. Hard to see but there are hundreds of buoys in the water with lobster pots.

We then took a drive to another part of Acadia National Park that followed the coastline. Every turn came up with breathtaking views of the rugged coastline.

One of many types of cannons facing the river in wait of approaching British ships that never came.
So much of the area is based on the lobster industry. Because of warm weather this year the lobsters have been early, plentiful and very inexpensive at under $5 lb for 1 lb. live ones.

Our new friends, Randy and Monica, from Maine took us "downeast" to parts unknown to tourists. It was a spectacular day of beaches, boats and island views topped off with a seafood feast. The lobster was $2.50 a pound straight from the dock. Then we were introduced to mud clams which were as sweet as the butter clams we know from the northwest!
They even loaned us their canoe to explore the lake.
