<bgsound src="Nadia.mid" loop=infinite> ~MAINE COAST CONTINUED~ Acadia National Park attracts thousands of visitors each year, and one of the most popular sites is Thunder Hole. Even at a distance, I could hear the "thunder" as the surf rolled in the "hole" and slammed against the rocks. A View from Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park: Otter Cliffs! Another popular site in Acadia Park is Sand Beach! We were there on a misty afternoon. ~Sand Beach On A Misty Afternoon~ Maine is for lobsters! , they say, and Ben and I sure ate our share. With "cookers" like these, you can see that lobster-steaming is serious business! The lobster shack on Bailey Island is a favorite scene for photographers. With boats in front and bouys decorating the side, it becomes a colorful scene. I learned that lobstermen register their bouys and in return, receive a licensed set of colors which they use for identification. And a set of colors is often passed down, from one generation to the next. A lobster can't be harvested until it's 5-6 years old, a lobsterman told us. Each lobster is "caught" many times and tossed back. Unfortunate for the lobster, this one turned out to be a keeper ! Ben and I made a second trip to Maine, and this time we drove North.
