Day 15 9/21/14

Our neighbor's huge tent

With everything packed up from last night we decided to eat breakfast along the way.  We stopped at the Everyday Café in Contookcook.  They make a breakfast burrito about six times the size of McD’s and a whole lot taster.

Trivia Question…Where is the oldest remaining wooden covered railroad bridge located?   Contookcook, NH.

Last remaining wooden covered railroad bridge

This little town has a picture around every turn: The dam, the bridge, the railroad depot, the intersection of Main and Maple Streets.  I told Linda “I could live here”.  The people of Contookcook call themselves Tooky's

As we traveled back into Maine we headed somewhat towards Bar Harbor.  One of the towns we went through was Wiscasset, home to Red’s Eats.  We heard about it and thought we would try it out for lunch.  Red’s is known as the “World’s Best Lobster Shack”.   They feel their lobster roll is second to none.  And I must say I will have to agree at this point since I haven’t tried anybody else’s.  I waited 45 minutes in line as the four ladies inside put together orders as fast as they could.  The line in the pictures is about half again as long as it was when I got in line.  It’s really more the novelty of being able to say “I ate at Red’s Eats”.

This is the bridge on US 1 near Bucksport.  You can take an elevator to the observation room and see Fort Knox! Not the one in Kentucky but Fort Knox Maine.

We arrived in Bar Harbor around 4 PM and Linda decided we would get a room for tonight.  She wasn't about to take a shower at the last campgrounds and wanted to be assured of a clean, warm bath.  We stopped at Day’s Inn and across the road we could see a cruise ship anchored.

You are going to have to believe me there is a cruise
ship out there in the fog.
