Recommendation for a Crab Boil/Pick?

I used to live in Maryland and moved down here some 6 months back. My birthday is coming up and our usual go-to is a blue claw crab pick for the fam. The whole deal with crabs tossed on newspaper on the table and you go at em with a mallet and a beer. I know I won't get the same quality, but does anyone have some good recommendations for a place that might fit the bill? Searching on Google seems to put up places that do crab cakes and Alaskan crab legs, but I just have a soft spot for Old Bay and Blue Claws.

Route Question for Wind River Range South

I was all set to do a week or so in the San Juans, but all the fires ended up being right in my path. Quick pivot to the Wind River Range, which I've haphazardly poked at routes in the past few years. I have settled on the following lollipop route of 60 miles in 5 or 6 days to allow for any weather or whatnot and just wondered if anyone has any suggestions.

I was going to do Bears Ears Trail with a little cross-country to smith lake trail, but I've heard Lizard Head Trail is pretty. Does anyone have a personal preference? On the Caltopo it is green vs the red section to the east.

I've also heard Wind River Peak is simple to access from the east with great views, but the West Gully sounds like something I'll pass on at the moment. I plan on heading southeast down the summit and taking Coon Pass to Temple Pass instead. I've read some trip reports saying these are smooth going and Google Earth seems to confirm, but I wanted to see if anyone else had an opinion. Also, planning on doing this clockwise unless anyone has a different take.

I head out Sunday and am super psyched!
