Canoeing on Prong Pond
Campsite at Lily Bay State park at Moosehead Lake
Friday July 25, 2008

We are so happy! It is not raining! We rented a canoe, packed a lunch and canoed around Prong Pond (not really a pond…it is big and filled with islands). The lake is so beautiful, pretty wild with few houses, we really enjoyed the 3 hour paddle. We have still not seen hide nor hair of a moose and believe you me, we are looking. There is a sign that says that moose outnumber people 3 to 1…we have seen a lot of people, but no moose. We are really just on a mammal hunt now. I have seen a few chipmunks and a road kill porcupine but we are mammal deprived right now. After our canoe we went back home and read then took the canoe back, took a ride to Rockwood (we will go back tomorrow) and ended up at the “Stress Free Moose” drinking a beer, downloading pictures, bloging and using their wireless (which doesn’t work very good). And to make things even better we have live music now with a guy who is playing our favorite songs. We end the night with more reading and a fire. We really do enjoy these cool Maine nights.
