Just after sunset last Saturday on Lobster Lake in Maine. My companion was seeking enlightenment.
I think this season is the season to make an attempt at encouraging my wife to join me on a canoe trip. I have tentative plans to travel with my son, daughter and my wife to Lobster Lake. I have paddled many lakes in Maine and have paddled the West Branch a bunch, but I have never been to Lobster Lake. I am thinking this would be the right place for my wife to experience a trip for the first time. How busy was the lake? I have always avoided Lobster Lake due to my concerns of the lake being much to busy (based on numerous vehicles at Lobster Trip parking lot in the past). I guess I just have to cross my fingers, plan this trip, and give it a go.
Great Memorial Day outing, though the water was low and the sun was hot! (Too hot for an aging pooch at least.)
Perhaps the last time I pole in the Heron....going to look at a used Millbrook Souhegan this weekend.
Where did you get that pole or did you make it?
Made it from a dead Norway spruce. Basically just ground the stobs with a dremel, stripped the bark and sanded a bit. My first ever attempt. My next will be more refined, once I find another dead standing pole of the right size
We were on Lobster Saturday night, and it wasn't crowded at all, we kept wondering where everyone was. That afternoon we saw a few fishing boats but no other camping parties. We visited all the campsites on the Ogden Point peninsula before settling on Ogden North. I'm sure it's busier in the summer when the water is warm; I've only been there twice, both times during Memorial Day weekend.
We saw one canoe camping party on the West Branch, we went up Saturday and down Sunday so we saw them twice. Overall, pretty quiet for a long weekend with good weather. Chesuncook was a washing machine on Sunday, but what else is new.
Best of luck! For me getting my wife to trip in the backcountry has been the holy grail for a while now, she has a very strong attachment to modern plumbing.
Same. Paddle outings with my lovely wife are limited to half days or locations with bathrooms. I've gotten her 'camping' in the yard, but have given up on overnight canoe trips with her. But, she's wonderfully supportive of my taking trips without her, and is good company on half day paddles as well.
My wife took this one from the bow seat on the East fork of the moose river, kenai Alaska.
Our smoke mostly cleared out overnight, leaving only a proper morning mist.
Thoughts are with those still under the cloud, and especially those who've had to evacuate from their homes in Quebec.
@Woodpuppy great shot, great spot! Location?
That’s Sylvan No. 1 on the Econfina Creek in Bay Co.
A great spot to take my littles, as they can stand and swim around above the vents with their goggles.

MKH, where is it and where are you—still on the NFCT?
that is if I recall Middle Saranac early in the morning. I'm stuck in Vermont trying to figure out how to get back on the water, but yes, still on the NFCT.
Last summer, my son in law and I camped on Lobster Lake from a Wednesday through Friday. Got a great campsite, one of the nearest to Lobster Stream. We had neighbors and saw other occupied campsites, but did not feel crowded at all. As we were leaving on Friday, it looked like there might be a big influx for the weekend.
