We just returned from a nice trip to the Great North Woods! It was the same cabin that Jay stayed in this winter on his ski trip, though considerably less thermalwear was required.
First we settled in with a picnic, then promptly set off to climb Sentinal- the peak that our cabin is named after. It was a more difficult climb than we had expected, but the view overlooking Katahdin, Doubletop, and Kidney Pond was spectacular.
We set off to see the moose and it's new calf- sadly the calf was too far away for a good picture, but here's mama snorfling vegetation from the pond.
Hal almost grabbed the big pile of chocolate on the ground, but we warned her not to.
Later, Evvie wanted to find out if grandpa could walk to Rocky Pond without his glasses! The answer to that question was a definitive "no".
It was a great trip with beaver sightings, nesting loons, an evening lightning storm and lots of love. Dad even got a birthday Twinkie with a candle in it! I was so excited the I barely napped, except when I couldn't hold my head up any longer in the backpack. We were exhausted by the end, and happy to be home, but thoroughly enjoyed our trip.
