    Midcoast Maine lobsters, typically 2.25lbs.. I can bring a giant pot if someone has the propane tank a burner for it.. the one I have is a large bayou aluminum pot (10 gallons or so) meant for frying turkeys, and or boiling/steaming lobster's.. would just ask that people bring some cash, or PayPal me some money afterwards.. have to find out the price... and figure how many water bugs you will all eat... I'll msg my sources..

    Got a 190 lb buck last year still a lot in the freezer packing that up. Yeah I usually take backroads to bethel I always stay off the high way I would suggest white mountains if that’s the plan it’s a not to far off.

    Could accommodate that as well. Might even be able to get access to the pit across the street which would handle a bunch and then some. As we get a little closer, I can work on a few things.

    I like the idea of running up through the white mountains. Mostly because I hate I95.

    I agree on that one man. On Memorial Day weekend naw I’m good with I95. Tourist time packed pike especially when you have a bunch of people together it. Just not a good time.

    Yeah, probably dont want to make this trip toooo complicated haha. I think something along the lines of @Grand dude 's map back on page 8 might be a good compromise of scenic and time constraints

    If you stay the first night in white national mountains. You can be on the golden road probably mid day assuming you leave as the sun is coming up. Taking west to east would honestly be a great trip. I came from I95 to west to get on to the 490 rd wish I woulda gone the back way.
