We were picked up at our hotel by Backcountry tours and was taken to see the other parts of the island. Part of the tour was on dirt roads, I was glad that we were in an air conditioned truck as opposed to an open air vehicle. Our guide from Backcountry tours explained that they offered a variety of services that include hauling camping gear and setting up camps for hikers that want to hike. With the steep hills, I could see where carrying food and gear could be a challenge.
We enjoyed seeing the rest of the island and hearing about the conservation efforts. Unfortunately, we did not get to see the Bison which were brought to island in 1924. Fourteen American Bison were brought to the Island and now, a hundred years later, a herd of about 150 roam the island.
After our tour, our guide dropped us off at “The Lobster Trap” where we had lunch. I rarely get lobster, but decided to have the lobster roll. I wasn’t disappointed.
