Maine...moose, puffins and lighthouses (Lots of photos) - 07/26/07 03:22 AM
For the past ten years, Randy and I have vacationed on the west coast every June, but this year we went east to Maine to get a few things that we missed last fall...moose, puffins and West and East Quoddy Lighthouses.
We spent the first few days at Baxter State Park. On Friday, June 22, we saw a total of 12 moose in and around Baxter.
This moose (probably a yearling) was swimming across Sandy Stream Pond. Notice all the flies. Once it came so close to me one time that I could have reached out and touched it.
A bull moose we saw later in the day outside of Baxter.
On Saturday we went back to Baxter and got to see two different moose cows with twin calves. We went to the park more prepared on Saturday, but never had to use our mosquito netting as the breeze kept all of the bugs away.
