Easternmost Town in USA
We are in Lubec ME for a 4 night stay, on the way here we had our first hiccup on the road😬. We blew a tire which was not very fun and we spent 30 minutes fixing it. Luckily, we had a spare tire under the camper. We were in the best spot for a tire emergency. We were just pulling into a rest spot because Eli had to pee, and just when we were pulling over, it blew, we were really lucky. Thankfully the rest of the ride was smooth.
Lubec is a small town known for there fish cause in the late 1800s they had a smoke shop and a canning sop so they mass produced herring and sardines. There was a cool museum but it was sadly not open the only days we were there 😭. The other things Lubec is known for is there crazy tide changes up to 30 feet in the Bay of Fundy.
At the campground, we had a waterfront view of the ocean but the campground is not where we spent all of our time in Lubec, we went to the famous candy-cane lighthouse, we did hiking trails following the coast. On one of the trails led to beach area where we could see seals, we named one Jeff. We also took a bike ride to downtown Lubec! We got food at the fishermen’s wharf on a pier. Somehow they were out of fish and only had enough for my fish tacos. The food was great other than the fact that they were out of fish. Overall rating 5/10, the only good part was my fish tacos. Then we rode to a different pier and took a boat out to go whale watching, and yes, we did see a rare species of whale called a finback, we saw seals and porpoises, the water had many species of jellyfish and barnacles 🪼. After the whales we rode down to love at first light ice cream and gift shop, I got moose tracks which was delicious 🤤. Finally we rode home and rode bikes for the rest of the day. Our next adventure at Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park in ME for 11 nights!
