Walking the Loop


Tuesday morning, Grammie and Grampa took the four of us and Luci on "the loop," a three-mile walk past several other camps.

Pub Sign


This is where we had lunch. I just like the sign — several harsh winters have given it extra character.

What's she thinking...?


I think it's something along the lines of "Put that f***ing camera down."

Luchtime Beverages


One of us chose an appropriate beverage to go with lunch . . . and Joanna chose an Amstel Light.

Downtown Greenville


Monday, Joanna and I went out for lunch in Greenville, the largest town on the lake (pop. 1623).

Bunny


Our next sighting wasn't quite as exotic.

Moose


It was nearly an hour before we spotted another animal, but it was a big one.

Fox


Sunday evening, Joanna and I took the boys out for a drive to look for wildlife. This fox was the first critter we encountered.

"A big 'tone!"


Oh, he got quite a bit grubbier than this — you should have seen the ring he left in the tub that night.

Reading on the Dock


Joanna spent much of her time at camp reading — she finished four books in the six days we were there.

Painting Rocks


Meanwhile, Cam was "painting rocks" — using his watershoes to slosh water on the larger stones.

Throwing Rocks


When he wasn't fishing on the deck, Ian was throwing rocks into the water.

Boys & Luci


It looks like Luci is watching a DVD with the boys. Actually, she's hunting Blue, the stuffed toy in Ian's left hand.

Mount Kineo


Mount Kineo sits on a peninsula in the middle of Moosehead Lake. These 700-foot cliffs on the east side rise straight up from the water, with the deepest point in the lake, 250 feet, almost directly below them.

Trail Washout


Unfortunately, we didn't make it all the way to Jackman. A beaver had built a dam on the stream that ran alongside the trail, making it impassible.

Does a bear...?


Yes. Yes, it does.

Back-country Road in the Great North Woods



The nearest paved road is about 30 miles away.
