Images of America #8: Maine
If you ever get to the extreme northeast corner of America, you won't forget it. Interesting people, spectacular
scenery, an easy-going lifestyle, and of course famous Maine "lobstah." Since we spent the most time in Maine this summer, this set of photos is larger than the others, but I hope you agree that it gives a sense of the place known as "The Way Life Should be."
Sunset in Washington County, the easternmost county in the U.S.

Dream-like Atlantic shore scene, McClelland Park south of Milbridge
Lobster traps being checked and baited, off Southwest Harbor, Mt. Desert Island
The proper Downeast method of eating lobster and clams: Just do it!

time we drive to town.

Maine looks lovely and is high on my list (along with the Canadian Maretimes) of places to visit. Only been to Maine once: in the middle of a London to L.A. bargain student charter flight in 1969 (US$189.oo round trip!) . . . . quarantined at a Bangor Airport hanger for 36 hours waiting for a 707 tire to be driven up from NYC . . . hoping like hell they wouldn't search the baggage. They didn't.
As long as it wasn't contraband seafood, you'd probably be all right!
I cannot answer that question as the statutes of limitation have not run out yet.
