Thanks for dropping by.  This blog has traditionally about moose but I would like to share more of the sights and sounds from this great state! Maine is a great state for the outdoors folks, whether you live here (other than the high taxes and blackflies) or are on vacation. In the spring and summer we camp, go whitewater rafting,  hike, kayak, fish, hunt, canoe, atv,  beachcomb, swim and so much more.  In the winter we snowhoe, ski, cross-country ski, snowmobile and sometimes just sit by the fire dreaming of what we will do when the weather warms up.  Maine is a mecca for the folks that love the outdoors.

There are LOTS of woods (17 million acres or so), over 2000 lakes, and about 32,000 miles of rivers. There is over 5000 miles of mostly rocky coastline but there are also some very nice beaches. Maine has 436,064 acres of state and national parks.

If you live here, this may be the year to take a “staycation” and enjoy your great state. If you vacation here, you probably already have some favorite “haunts”. I am going to share some of my favorite places with you in this blog. Be sure to drop by often.
