Tae a Moose


Saturday found us taking a gentle drive on one of America's scenic by-ways around Lake Rangeley and the curiously named Lake Mooselookmeguntic (seriously!) It is a very beautiful part of Maine and the special feature is how several lakes are joined together to form an important waterway which the American Indians used thousands of years ago. It is now the land of Huntin', Shootin' and Fishin' and also canoein' in the summer and Skiin' in the winter. There are also lots of moose in the area but they were all hiding from us.
We had a nice picnic at one of the rest areas where some optimists were panning for gold.
We arrived about 4pm at the small town of Bethel which is a very pretty quintessential New England town. We stayed in a Bed and Breakfast at the Chapman Inn which was built 1865 which is mighty old in Bethel. The breakfast is "world famous" and I can certainly recommend the french toast!!
Today we are heading to Tripp Lake to see Sarah at work which is very exciting.
