We drove 2 hours for New England soft shell STEAMERS & Maine Lobsters.

Shelly is one happy camper today!
Hard shell is in-season!
Essex House is on State Rte 40 in Pierson FL…

They get two or three shipments direct from Maine every week, all year long.

It looks like there is a respectable Antenna Farm here in “4-land” = a HAM Radio Station on the south side of Rte 40.

Standing room only as we were leaving (at 4:30pm) on a Monday. We are glad we showed up ~3:15pm – no line!
The ducks can’t read.
We are in the lower-right of this map: “Black Bear + Gator” country. Lots of tall pines and long straight 2-lane highways.

The most common pine tree species near Lake George, FL, is the Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii), which thrives in the area’s flatwoods and wet, sandy soils.

Just west of Daytona Beach, south of St Augustine, Lake George, and Palakta. Orlando is another hour’s drive south of here.
Freshfields Farm, back in JAX was a great stop for fresh provisions on our way back to the boat.

University Ave + I-95 in JAX
