Log/Pic 83 Honda VTX 1300

So I got a new motorcycle this summer. It's a Honda VTX 1300. Biggest bike I ever had and definitely big enough for long road trips. I will add windshield and saddlebags so it's suited for them too-but for now I'm enjoying the power and the wind on my face...and body!

My nieces, Julia and Olivia, enjoy it too!

Log/Pic 82 Adirondacks

So I saw a wood duck in a tree on the way to work.
After work I packed up my Jeep and kayak and headed to the Adirondacks.

I slept in my Jeep the first night after kayaking some cool lakes. It was not exactly as roomy as my truck. It was the only night I spent in it.

I saw lots of beaver lodges, but no beavers.

Saw red fox on my way home...along with a beaver on the side of the road.

Log/Pic 81 Butterflies

Butterflies from South and Central America

see website for additional photos

So I checked out "Wings" Butterfly garden-that is what I saw.

Log/Pic 80 Maine for Moose

So this month it was a trip to Maine to scout for moose.
But first a trip to Ogunquit.

Then due north

Still a lot of snow

Indian Lake

We saw lots of deer-last count was 50.

Slept in Jeep first night at this camp site by a lake in Jackman.

Spotted this hare

Got up close enough to touch

Took me awhile to build up trust though. Here is the hare on the left and me on the right in the woods. I actually fell through the snow and it turned out to be a stream.

Face to face with bugs

Checked out Umbagog and then Androscoggin.

Found nice B&B-much more comfortable than Jeep-but no moose.

Went home via North Conway and through the White Mountains and the Kangamonga. We got plenty of snow, and plenty of deer.
