Keith Visits The Lobster Trap Tree

I hope you can tolerate one more Lobster Trap Tree post but Keith insisted on stopping by and having his photo taken. As you may be aware, the new location is between the Harbormaster’s Office and the Coast Guard Station on the Harbor Loop. Such a festive, well constructed tree decorated with buoys painted by locals. Don’t forget you can Tag a Trap if you’d like to help financially.
