<\/a><\/p>\nIt looks like the lobsters couldn’t be any fresher!<\/p>\n
And you got to eat right out on the wharf. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to mug with the life preserver.<\/p>\n After I was adventurous and tried the lobster roll while I was in Freeport, I decided I didn’t need to do that again. I opted for grilled ham and cheese.<\/p>\n I like how they make use of things when they are no longer useful. For instance, they had these doormats for sale that were made from the lobster pot ropes.<\/p>\n Maybe “rope” isn’t technically the correct word, but you get the picture. They looked like they would really do a good job of trapping dirt at the door.<\/p>\n After lunch, I decided to drive over to the Blueberry Festival in Machias that I had heard about on the news. Along the way, I came upon Wild Blueberry Land.<\/p>\n The signs by the road advertised all manner of things blueberry. It made me think of The Cherry Hut in Michigan. I had great hopes of getting a blueberry pie.<\/p>\n They had lots of blueberry-themed decorations. Look at those gigantic blueberries!<\/p>\n Even the port-o-potties were blue!<\/p>\n They were sold out of the pies and other blueberry baked goods., so I tried on a blueberry tee shirt and posed for a picture as Queen of Wild Blueberry Land.<\/p>\n I decided that I didn’t need the tee shirt and proceeded on to the festival.<\/p>\n It was a really happening event. They had shuttles running from the Hannaford Supermarket on the edge of town. I parked and moments later I was whisked into the heart of the festivities.<\/p>\n There were craftsmen selling their wares along many of the streets.<\/p>\n I thought this woman’s doggy backpack was worth a photo.<\/p>\n I stopped at this booth for a while. It was the Blackfly Breeders Association. I just had to know if they really did breed blackflies.<\/p>\n It turns out that it’s kind of a joke. Whenever we get bit by a blackfly, we take part in helping along their breeding cycle. She said that the presence of blackflies indicated a healthy ecosystem. They had all sorts of Blackfly Breeders Association swag for sale, and they donate the profits to charity. I managed to not buy anything from them. My sales resistance is high, especially when I have no interest in what is being sold.<\/p>\n There was music on the steps of the church.<\/p>\n I bought a small blueberry shortcake at the stand across from the church.<\/p>\n I strolled around and looked at the crafts for sale. When I had seen it all, I hopped \u00a0aboard the shuttle back to the parking lot.<\/p>\n I debated about trying to drive to the northern end of U.S. 1. I saw the southern end in December when I was in Key West.<\/p>\n I looked at the map. I looked at my watch. I decided to head back.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Key West, 2065 miles that-a-way!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the suggestions the campground host made was that I head over to wharf at Corea for lunch.
