ExploreTraveler Presents: Exploring By Road Trip Maine USA Part II

in #travel6 years ago

Here is a small series of highlights from our continuing adventure in the North East of Maine USA. We start with some food, and then move into some of our favorite places that we have found so far. The green letters means it is a link to another post for additional information about that picture. We have also included some videos from our on going time here, and think the combination will give you a good glimpse into life within the North East Region of Maine.

The Food Experience

Exploring the food of Maine this summer as been delightful, and each season will bring something new.

There is just something a little savage about eating lobster that seems to happen when we find a great lobster pot to eat at here in Maine. With great energy and family fanfare we tear into our meals like starving people from the days of old. Laughter from others can be heard as they seem to be having the same feeling as we do. Maine is rich in seafood, and many different preparation styles of lobster are everywhere.

From our video you can see how they bring the meals out to us, and before the messy part starts. There are huge pots around the corner heating the lobster until they are ready.

The Magnificent Bar Harbor On Mount Desert Island Maine

Nothing Could Be Better Than A Day On The Water At Bar Harbor, Maine

Bar Harbor Maine was originally incorporated As Eden On February 23, 1796. Today, it is the largest community on Mount Desert Island and home to over 5,000 year around residents. It is also home to Cadillac Mountain which soars over 1,500 feet into the skyline. Cadillac Mountain is a major part of Acadia National Park, which borders the town. 

For those who would like to spend a quiet day in the community of Bar Harbor, you will find adventure at every turn. You will find a first class Nature Camp for the whole family to enjoy. The camps run one week and are for all ages. Here you can really embark on a wilderness adventure that will give the family memories for many years.

Inviting Cool Mossy Cliffs That Overlook The Sea In Lubec Maine

Early mornings, before the heat of the day, is the perfect time to explore all the exciting cliffs around Lubec, Maine. What an exciting place for a land adventure on the shores of the sea. Cool morning mists coming in from the sea are perfect for those who desire a more active day of exploration. Why not grab your back pack and gather the family for a little excitement at the beach. 

Those who want to just relax and enjoy the day can do that too. There are many places to catch a leisurely breakfast, lunch, or dinner over looking the water. Do you no longer have the energy to hike and climb cliffs, that's okay, there is lots of quiet excitement waiting on the shore. 

Gone Fishing

For the fisherman out there, there is no better way to spend the day than fishing on any of the rivers or bays. If you prefer charter fishing, there are lots of charter boats waiting to take you out to some of the best fishing spots in Maine. What are you waiting for? Grab your gear, or rent it on site, a day of fantastic fishing awaits you up and down the coast and on the quiet rivers of Eastern and Northern Maine.

Excellent post. Loved it. Thanks for the hard work.

Your welcome @javybar. Glad you enjoyed the blog.

Maine is so beautiful to explore!

Thank you @pilgrimtraveler Maine has allot to offer and costs can be controlled for a very enjoyable experience.

I love mackerel! I will try putting crackers around it straight out from the can. I'm not sure how it would taste though.

I feel so jealous and hungry right now. As a fellow photographer, I really love the Gull's life for me :))

Thanks @drawesome24 thats photo is one of our favorites and the birds personality seems to come through with the photograph.

Damn, i can't begin to tell you how much I want to be you right now. I'm a huge foodie and I think seafood, is hands down, the best type of food out there. So, this trip would've been perfect for me.
Seems like you are having such a pleasant time over there, in Maine :D Hope you are having fun, I wish you a safe trip for the rest of your journey :)

Thank you @inspirationalrag and we will hang around this area for a while until we move on to some place else.

You are truly living life at its fullest...you're travelling around the world, meeting other people, and making money with all the information you get from these encounters. How can it get any better?

Thanks it's allot of fun but we do have to earn from our crypto trading, long term hold investments, and other crypto earnings.

Still...it's WAY better than the normal, average jobs. That's why I'm getting into crypto trading as well. My dream is to be financially stable and to be able to travel all around the globe with my family and friends, like you do.

Simple yet magnificent and satisfying... these kind of pleasures are much more of value than any entertainment I see on show business.

Thank you @amel. Simple pleasures are enjoyable.

Totally agree! And thank you for sharing it inspires us to make some versions of our own. :)

IExcellent post. Loved it. Thanks for the hard work. I feel so jealous and hungry right now. As a fellow photographer, l really love this post have a nice day boss..

What lovely pictures. The lobsters look beautiful, what a vibrant color! I would love to visit such incredible sites one day, to be able to tell my story and simply enjoying them.

That's the kind of food that I am always looking for! Especially you know that it's fresh and you'll get to enjoy it by the beach/sea. I'm longing for my days where I get to visit the USA one day!
