Weekend on the island

Mt Desert Island, Maine. We make it here every couple of years or so. About a three hour drive which works out well for a three day weekend. This time we are staying at Smuggler's Den Campground in Southwest Harbor. Lois and Jim are here too, two campsites over form us. Today they met up with Lois and Carol's 2nd cousin John who is a lobsterman as he left at 5am this morning to visit his lobstertraps and bring in what was there. Carol and I got up at a more reasonable hour and after breakfast made our way to Bar Harbor to make like tourists wandering alone the shops, through a crafts fair and the shore trail. Tonight we'll be going over to John's and his wife Linda's place for lobster and to visit with them for the evening.
