MOOSEHEAD LAKE

I was off today and the weather was "iffy" but we decided to take a 75 mile ride to the Moosehead Lake area. On the way we saw this covered bridge & decided to go across it. It is called the Low Bridge after one of the early settlers. Built the first time in the late 1700s it has been washed out twice. Last rebuild was in 1990. It is unpainted but pretty and you could hear a pin drop.

Along the trip whenever we saw water it seemed there were flyfishermen hoping for a good day. Maine is very much into outdoor activities. This guy was giving it his best.

Greenville Maine is the lower shore of Moosehead Lake, I don't know its size but it may be or is close to being the largest lake in Maine. We drove for a couple hours and the lake was never far away.

Near Rockland Maine we saw Moose species A, she was alongside the road as we approached though she scurried back into the woods a bit. What a strange animal the moose is. It looks like God took leftover parts from making other animals and created the moose. They like to come out on the highways in the summer to escape the black flies that bite horribly (people too). You really have to watch sides of road when driving as a moose might suddenly bound up a bank & bang! Their legs are real tall so when you hit them, their heads may end up in your lap. Right through the windshield. We have only been here 2 weeks and already there have been 2 moose accidents.

Below are 2 other species of moose I found. By the way, what is the proper term for more than 1 moose. 1 moose-2meece? How about a pair of moose? My preference is, see that moose?-there is another one too. Grinnnnnn.
