Warning! Huntington Gorge….

.

On one of our random scenic drives around Vermont we stopped at a diner for lunch. Wondering if there were any points of interest nearby, we asked the locals who promptly sent us to Huntington Gorge.

.

.

At first glance it didn’t look promising.

.

.

And to be honest, the second and third glances weren’t any better.

.

.

Everywhere we looked there were warnings.

.

.

And while I’m not normally obtuse, I was beginning to get the feeling we weren’t wanted.

.

.

So of course… after all the Danger Will Robinson! signs?

.

.

My mountain goat husband had to investigate.

.

.

Right at the very edge they warned us about.

.

.

Please note yours truly listened to robot and was well out of danger range.

.

.

Yeah. That limb will hold you honey, no problem.

.

.

Needless to say he survived. But it wasn’t for lack of trying.

😉

.

You show me yours, I’ll show you mine.

.

Now, now… don’t get excited. I live in Maine, I’m talking lobster.

.

.

There was a state wide contest and even our local pub co owner joined in.

.

.

Ooh… a blue!

.

.

If you’ve never done it, or even thought about it? Trust me, lobstering is hard work.

.

.

You battle the weather, the equipment and the ocean. Fisherman die or are lost at sea every year. I’ve personally known two.

.

.

And yes..

.

.

Lobsters really are this small in the beginning.

.

.

Cuddly? Not so much.

But damn, they sure are tasty.
