Frenchboro Lobster Fest 2013-8-10

Ron & Charlotte organized this Off schedule hike & lobster fest in Frenchboro.
This is a popular annual event for lots of Mainers and Ron & Charlotte have lead the DOC'ers for quite some time. 

The day starts with a Swans Island/Bass Harbor Ferry trip to Frenchboro then a hike on the island followed by a very  popular lobster fest. 

It makes for a long day but well worth the effort, especially when the weather is so nice.

If you stayed home this day you missed a blue ribbon Maine day
