North Central Maine – mostly forests!

We didn’t really know what there was to see in north-central Maine, but the owner of the RV park where we’re staying told us about a great drive, on a private logging road (yield to the logging trucks!) that took us to where there was a great view of the Baxter Mountain (one of the highest in Maine, a dam, along a river where there was some class-5 rapids, and several beautiful ponds.  He said there was a chance we would see one or more moose, but we didn’t.

But, the drive was very pleasant, the rapids and dam were interesting and the scenery along the way and at the ponds was beautiful.  We saw several people on the road that had kayaks on their vehicles, but we saw no one running the rapids and didn’t want to hang around for several hours hoping to see some.  We crossed a small bridge that was so narrow one vehicle went at a time, and we had to wait for someone coming towards us (one of the photos is of that vehicle crossing the bridge).

Here are photos we took:
