Post Peak

Paddled Ram to Poplar Lake last weekend.  The trip traverses the Misquah Hills through some of the highest lakes in the state.  It takes quite a bit of "puddle hopping" through small lakes and over long, rugged, seldom-traveled portages to complete this route but the views are well worth it! 

The hills lost most of their glitter in a single day when 50 mile per hour wind gusts scattered the foliage on to the forest floor. 

Moose and bear season close this weekend while small game and bow season on deer continue. 

We've been busy harvesting apples and stacking firewood. 

Three tenths of an inch of much-needed rain feel yesterday lifting the ban on fires.  Now that the trees have lost their leaves my mind has shifted towards my winter project of clearing the one and a half acre homesite.

We spotted a lone wolf trotting on the side of the road last night in the rain.
