I have met many enlightened souls in my life...All of them were cats.

Shoulda finished up the yardwork but it was too nice. First outing this month, second of the year.

My first thought was "that looks like makoros in the Okavango" , then saw the ID. Wonderful place!

You've been there?

 

[Mason]

You've been there?

Yes, 3 years ago. Even got to pole a makoro--wonderful experience. My daughter trying her hand (as a couple of hippos watched from a distance--and her father!).

Jealous! Okavango is high on my bucket list.

At it again.....

Gotta paddle daily to get a photo of the day, right?? Got out for a quick round before work this morning.

Any Maine paddler encounter this?

DP Copper’s escape capsule? Alien fuel rod? Jimmy Hoffa’s headstone?

Where did you see that? I know you said Maine but it is a big state.

Part of a collapsed/demoed smoke stack? It’s very thick.

What's on the outside? Are those some kind of metallic plates or are they rubber?

Brandy Pond. Map 49 in the Maine Atlas Gazetteer by Delorme. Seen while finishing the Allagash Lake loop.

Look at satellite maps and you may see the shadow it casts.

Must be part of a turbine.

Copper, with a fine patina. The inner is concrete. This must have part of a turbine for an area dam.

How in the world was this placed here? The upstream dams are storage dams other than Chesuncook’s Ripogenus Dam. Certainly a relic of past industrial times.
