The Traveler & Katahdin

Two of the big mountains in the Park, The Traveler, Maine's highest volcanic mountain, and Katahdin in the background.

Baxter State Park

Here's a small sample from my trip. We stayed at South Branch Pond Campground, a long trip to make. It's still another 1 1/2 hours to get there once you cross the gatehouse at Togue Pond. 

A note on cameras. My primary camera was a Nikon D80 with a 24-85 mm lens. I also had a longer lens but didn't use it this time. I also had a Nikon P5100 and a Panasonic DMC-LX2. 

The photographs are much better in life than here, and that is deliberate.

Home from Baxter.

Followed the Big Dipper northward, ok I didn't, I went in the day, but it sounds nice. Rain,cold and sunshine. It has got to be one of the most beautiful parts of the state, in a state that always gives more than you expect.

More photos to follow, still unpacking and trying to make sense of the clutter.

North bound

Next week, I'm off to Baxter State Park, so there will be more coming in the next few weeks, then again in September, when I' off to there again.

Sun and fog, a glorious combination.

Up close.

Sunrises

For a wet summer, we've had some really good sunrises.
