We left St. Nicolas, Quebec on the 28/8 bound for Palmyra, Maine and lottsa yummy lobsters! Our route took us along the Moose Head River - quite picturesque.

We could not have picked a better day for lunch at Belfast Harbor - the weather was absolutely glorious. Its about an hour's drive from Palmyra through gorgeous winding roads.

Thanks to Tom's detail in research, we found Young's Lobster Pound where our lobsters were patiently waiting for our arrival. 

You order your lobster at the counter - they get scooped  and then cooked in big pots of boiling water. Takes about 20 minutes. Tom and I opted for the 1 1/8 lobster lunch with drawn butter and chips (we thought we were getting fries but it was a packet of potato chips).

There are no fancy chairs, just tables and benches, there's also seating upstairs in the main building. Some folks brought their own wines etc.  It seems its a very casual set up - you just buy the food from them and you bring whatever else you like.

Autumn hasn't quite fully arrived in Maine but there were numerous trees making an early show. We were told the autumn colours will be more apparent mid/late Sept....darn we are too early.

Al and our truck on a fine sunny day at Palymra RV Park and Golf Course. We arrived for the Labor Day long weekend so it was chock a block starting from the Friday night.

A view of the woods behind our rv taken from inside the kitchen. Wi Fi cover on this trip has been absymal at best...the RV parks all boasts of wi fi availability but the coverage is always very suspect. To get wi fi, Tom had to keep going to the toilet block which is about 500 metres from our site.

Another day, another lobster....or two.

Okay..the first ones were sooo good we had to go back for seconds. This time, we decided to go "whole hog"..oink, oink and order 2 lobsters plus a seafood sampler plate. I don't know what makes the Maine lobster so sweet but man, it was gastronomical heaven.
