Chi-Poo at Taylor Pond

This post continues from where Water Sights at Taylor Pond left off with its photos. For those who are new here, this Chi-Poo kayaking buddy of mine goes by the name of “Rascal.” I wish I could have gotten at least one picture of Rascal while the wind was blowing strong, because the back of [...]

Water Sights at Taylor Pond

This post continues from where Lean-to Sites at Taylor Pond left off, with my marveling over how wonderful the sound of a brook goes with hearing wind blow through trees and a loon off in the distance! (All shots are enlarged by clicking on them.) The above is towards the southwest. The Catamount Mountains are [...]

Lean-to Sites at Taylor Pond

This post continues from where Tent Sites at Taylor Pond left off, with the mention that this campground needs campers or else New York State will keep it closed. These first three photos are from site #2; one that’s only accessible by boat or a long hike. It’s very remote and has a fair amount [...]

Tent Sites at Taylor Pond

Taylor Pond is the Best!

This post continues from where West Before South left off, and hopefully now will reflect a little more enthusiasm. I was heading to the Adirondack Mountains, but had no idea where exactly would be the best place to stay. I didn’t feel like going from one body of water to another as seen in my [...]

West Before South

This post continues from where Moosehead in the Other Direction left off, with my having said enough about that lake. While traveling through Maine, it was evident that there were beautiful rest areas. Here are some photos of a rest stop along Route 150 (Harmony Road): (All shots are enlarged by clicking on them.) Since [...]

The 4th of July

Each year I detest the 4th of July with an ever increasing intensity! Sensory overload doesn’t even begin to describe how horrible it is for me and some other Aspies! Every year my husband has a barbecue/party to celebrate this holiday. Yesterday was no exception. He had one of his friends bring over a canon [...]

Moosehead in the Other Direction

This post continues from where Helloh Moosehead Lake left off, with me trying to get a full night’s sleep. In the morning, another paddler came to greet me (hoping to get some breakfast). (All shots are enlarged by clicking on them.) On this day, I kayaked northeastward on Moosehead Lake. The air and water temperatures [...]

Helloh Moosehead Lake

This post continues from where Maine by Midnight left off, with me driving slowly on a logging road deeper into quiet woods around 3 o’clock in the morning. It seemed to be getting lighter out, so I parked the car for an hour or two of rest. Upon daylight, there were the most beautiful sounding [...]

Maine by Midnight

On Saturday, June 19th, traveling the thruway north towards Albany wasn’t too bad for driving, but going east towards Boston on The Massachusetts Turnpike grated on my nerves continuously! The traffic was dense and the road was not smooth. I thought any route other than I-95 north for Maine would be better, but was I [...]
