For those of you who haven't been to the coast of Maine: there are side-of-the-road places called lobster pounds. They have live lobsters in tanks, ready to boil. They have boilers, usually wood-fired. And they have picnic tables. Way back when, it was just the tank and the boiler, but these days it's more elaborate. Of course we had to stop at one. Here are some pictures.....

They do love their buoys! These are not the real thing, they are just for show.
Each different color combo indicates who the lobster trap belongs to. |

Somewhere on the road in Maine, on old Hwy. 1, we spotted this thing and just had to get a picture. It's inflated. And big. And quite eye-catching!
