Rangeley Lake
Kat, Laurel, Stephen and I spent this past weekend in Rangeley, Maine at one of the L.L. Bean cabins on the shore of Rangeley Lake. Despite it being rather damp, cold and cloudy, it was a lot of fun and much needed time off after the spring semester.
We spent quite a bit of time on Route 17 south of Rangeley, seeing quite a bit of wildlife. We saw something like 18 moose, 20 deer, a couple of rabbits and wild turkeys.
Saturday evening was cold and windy, but after driving all the way from Troy with kayaks, I decided to head out onto the lake. It was pretty bleak out, but I had a really great time. I paddled around the South Bog Islands (which seem to be missing from Google Maps, but show up on this embedded Google Map) for a while, but didn’t stay out too long because of the close-to-freezing temperatures (parts of the main island still had a couple of feet of snow).
