We are very excited to be here at Patten Pond in Ellsworth, Maine – we are
visiting our friends Jana & Rick who are working here for the summer. The campground is
nice – rustic (think: state park) with few amenities (but since we’re spending
time with them, the lack of amenities are of no consequence). We have a full
hook-up site with cable in what’s called the “upper part” of the campground, so
it’s nice and open.
Once we
got settled, we all went out to a restaurant that serves “Maine food” – yup,
lobster. It was a quaint place called Ruth & Wimpy’s – and after much
pressure, land-locked growing-up Brad got a whole lobster (next we’ll all be
jumping off a bridge together…..get it…….as your mom used to say, if all your
friends jumped off a bridge, would you follow? Well in this case, for Brad,
yes.)
The food was great – Suzanne enjoyed
her not-so-low-calories crab & alfredo pasta (which, after Brad ate his
lobster and was still hungry, he finished).
Here's where they cook the lobsters.........
Yup - ticky tacky tourist pic!
Easy and affordable - no matter where you are!
