Useless in Eustis/Chain of Ponds






Useless in Eustis/Chain of Ponds (more pictures and video after written post, right click on pictures to enlarge) Well we left Route 1 Friday night and headed North. Drove well into the night and ended up sleeping in the van in Grafton Notch State Park. Awesome sleep...nice and cool. Mom and Dad cooked a great breakfast then we headed farther north, way farther! Through Rangley and Stratton to....you guessed it Eustis,Maine! Of course Mom had to buy me a "Useless in Eustis" tee-shirt. From there even farther north to the Chain of Ponds up by the Canadian border. We camped on Round pond, under the causeway bridge from Natanis Point. We set up camp then we canoed way up Natanis Pond. It was a real long pond , and just gourgous. And the weather...just PERFECT! We watched a half dozen loons, I just love their eerie "LOOOON LOOOON" call. Dad and I found a big ole bullfrog, I hopped with him down to the beach, I wanted to eat him but I think he peed in my mouth EEEEEEEEKKKKKKK! (see video) Back to our camp for an excellent steak dinner and a huge bon fire. I just Love sleeping in our tent! We woke to more loons after a star & moon lit night. Sunday morning we drove the few miles north to the Canadian border crossing in Coburn Gore, Dad even let me drive for a bit. We didn't cross the border, but it was the cloesest I've ever been to another country! Another AWESOME weekend in the life of Moxie, the "almost inernational" Adventure Dog!
