@doebuck1234 i just started one myself, enjoy.

What is this ball of foooot you speak of? Gotta get ‘em before you!

I always hope for 2...

Simmering up some nice broth for beef barley veggy soup this week.

Would love to try that!

Ah sorry to hear this, speedy recovery, tell her not to let it drive her crazy!

True true! I have only stayed at the coast twice, once for a week for my first visit to Bar Harbor, and Acadia. Another time for one night in Wells/Moody on the way back from Moosehead.

Good man

New hand is home! waterproof as is, the new arm in its first stage is done, BUT needs an additional part to connect the powered wrist rotator! i can’t wait to flip @The Jerkman the bird!

I instantly thought you would have to be the pizza man, as soon as I read “pizza appetizer station”! Get what ta pay for, but I think i’ m a head of it here for only a case of High Life. Haha

Thank you Fletch! I am glad you enjoyed the pics/stories. We are planning further north for a portion of next trip, have to start looking around for ideas. She’s still super excited, and can hardly believe it happened. She thought next year at some point, haha. Sneaky sneaky

Funny you say that, thats what I used to do when I went up to the Saranac lakes area. I used to camp at Rollins Pond up by Follensbee Clear Pond, middle Saranac, Raquette River area....I would drive up 17 to Deposit rake route 12, and 8 i believe it is, then go through Old Forge, Inlet, Speculator on route 28, then to route 30, and route 3 and on up. Probably have a few routes mixed up, been awhile, but same thing I like to avoid big highways if possible, can’t stand the high concentration of dbag. Hoping for that bear! Haven’t seen either on that cam while we were aware.

No, just easier on more of a regular basis to have shrimp for home dinners. When you thought you knew me lol.... I’m not THAT predictable, haha come on Biz!

That is sooo awesome, what a dream! congratulations!

I invite you as chief moderator! ya’ll like lobsta?

Thanks Moho...What a long hectic ride, woke up not in the mood, kept hitting snooze, next thing you know we left at like 10am...we leave to GO TO Maine at like 2-4am usually so big difference. We have some ideas for wedding plans! It will be up there, thinking of renting a log home right on the lake, with it catered with lobsters, steaks, and Mexican food, our favorites!

The last of the Brown butter, lobster, pork belly pizza made it the journey home

Thats a wrap guys, back home after 550 miles. Took a bit of a different route home this time, took 90 through Massachusetts to Albany, and down the Thruway to Kingston...was better than that Connecticut madhouse. Great trip, 202 miles on the ATV, etc...already planning going further north for a few days to try something different, but we truly love Moosehead Lake. Thanks for hearing my stories, all the interest, kind if sad for us to have this over once again...feels like I just concluded last years thread.

Well today is it i feel like it was yesterday that I concluded LAST years Maine thread, even though i added to it these past few weeks getting antsy to go. Today we went out on the quad as usual, it has really become our favorite thing to do. Anyways, we trailered it about 20 minutes to a different section that we have ALWAYS wanted to explore. Something about it just looked so remote, and moosey. So we parked next to Brassua Lake, and rode the hard road the half mile to where the ITS trail crosses the maine road. We took the trail in hopes of reaching Jackman, a logging town 19 miles south of Quebec. Well we only made it 3 miles to a VERY flooded section of trail. It was a shame, as the area was beautiful, and just felt as if you were in Alaska. Well we turned around, headed back out those 3 miles, and crossed the hard road where we originally entered trail. This section was very scenic too, but it has some obstacles that we somewhat challenged ourselves to, since we are still noobs in ATVing. During the flooded sections where I could walk the sides off, I used a tree branch to check depth, and how soft the section was. Anyways, we said screw it, and conquered each section on this side of the road. It was a slow 10-15 miles in, but I travel slow to not damage tires. After the ride we went back to the house, cleaned up and went to dinner at a place that truly makes you feel like a local at home. They treat you so well that you leave a bit bummed out to be honest. You just imagine at that point what it is like to live up here. Just genuine good people, who I truly appreciate. At dinner we had that “Browned Butted, Pork Belly, & Lobster Pizza”...oh my god was it DELICIOUS. We expected it to be good, since all of their other foods are so flavorful, and delicious, but being pizza, we did not expect it to really be anything but “good”....we were blown away at how different it was, exploding with flavor, and made fresh to order. What a wonderful place. After dinner, we came back, made a campfire, and are listening to the loons on the lake crying. What a trip, and I appreciate you all letting me share the adventures we had. Always a depressing time to leave...truly do not like NY, and I am 100% a different person up here in my comfort zone.

I’m still in Central-Northernish Maine. Placed is called RockWood Bar & Grill. For pizza out of state it was insane good

Lobster, and Pork Belly with a brown butter sauce instead of a red sauce! Unreal, so different.

Its electronic, so it was a shocking experience

I just have little interest in fishing. I enjoy it when I do fish, but I rather go explore in the kayak, or ATV.

That island you see, there is a full time residence on it, some view they must have on that right side. I have only fished the streams up here one trip, took my dad here for a fly fishing trip one year for Father’s Day. I gave him a Maine fishing license on fathers day, but we went up mid August I think it was. All kinds of fish in this lake, its 40 miles x 20 miles and in a shape with lots of coves. Max depth 246’ mean depth 55’ and the perimeter is 280 miles.
