It’s very sad that its being lost. As an outsider that is part of the draw of Maine. I grew up with camping in the lakes region. About 15 or 20 years ago the campground we always went to was turned into a high end condo association of homes for people from the Chicago region. It will still always be Bear Mountain village to me.

We stayed at Moosehead lodge once and loved it. There was a New Zealand girl working there as well. Sometimes I wonder who is watching the shop back home. I wasn’t hunting except with a camera. These days I leave that up to the younger ones.
Coastal Maine homes often feature a row of lobster traps. Stacked three high, faded bridles facing the road. They are often missing runners and the remaining runners seem to be barely clinging to the traps. The wire is rusty in places and the coating has been bleached by the sun into a dull imitation of its old color. The whole lot can be purchased for $5 a trap. The seller writes in his ad: “They are ready to fish! They just needs a few patches and maybe a runner here and there”
The point being, is that they still fish. Cheaper than $80 a trap for a student/apprentice getting their start in the industry.
Plus if you spend less on traps you can put more towards the down payment on that top trim Silverado.
