Hiked into Andover, Maine early and shuttled into town with Mash. The gang was already in town, and Bamboo had zucchini bread and cookies--yum!
We bought a small resupply, because the general store was a bit pricey. B also bought a pair of "glittens" which were not pricey. Then we saw a sign on a bulletin board about a lobster dinner that night at the local rotary club. We called up the club and they were delighted to have us.
Not long after we got the unfortunate news that all the lobsters the rotary had were sold. No room for us.
Instead we had lunch at a local store then hit the trail. At Surplus Pond we stopped to swim. Morning Kid, Shaman, Bamboo and Mash were already in as B and I staggered into the rocky pond.
About five minutes passed when Shaman discovered he had a leech on his knee. That was it. We all rushed out; not before I banged my knee on a rock though.
We gradually climbed Wyman Mountain then descended into Hall Mountain Lean-To for the night. Mash started a fire, which I horned my way into and we enjoyed the rest of the evening shooting the breeze and eating Ramen (the cheapest thing at the general store).
3 am posting! Don't you kids ever sleep! ME has 2 kinds of lobster. Paper shell has just shed and have not filled out new shell. It is not a good deal. Size may be big but the body weight is low. Hard shell lobster is much fuller. A ME chain called ,The Weather Vane,has good lobster & seafood at reasonable prices. One is w/in 1/4 of I-95 at one of the 3 waterville, ME exits found on same road as raod to Belgrade lales .-South of the Border, BA
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. We were planning on ordering a lobster when we finish and now know what to order. Thanks!
