Well, I did some scouting, and wow....there is a lot of mud up there right now! Some parts of the gravel logging roads were slick as ice from all the surface mud. I was alone, so I didnt do anything real tough, stuck with some easy trails. Finaly called it a night around 2am, and camped in the bed of my truck, down in some swamp.

What a great way to start off a trip... Saw this moose in fryeburg

Its hard to see, but if you look close, its in the middle, didnt have time to roll the window down, I had been fumbling with my phone for a good couple min before I finally got it turned on again. This was just the first of many...I been goin up there for years, and never have I seen so many moose in a 24 hr period... I saw 7 just on the rt27 bypass, all in different spots, then about 6 more when I got off pavement... 2 huge bulls, 1 moma with calf, and the rest were cows.

Where I woke up


believe it or no....it's quite comfortable in here...



Found some neat waterfalls way out in the middle of nowhere....seriously... 50+miles from pavement, down a 4x4 trail







Heres how the truck looked when I got home..... was much worse, but it rained all the way back



Other than hearing bear all around me all night....It was an excellent trip!! Hopefully next time I'll have a group so I can do the more extreme stuff.

 

awesome pics man. How were the blackflies?

 

Unreal!! gonna have some itchy spots for a while....I even loaded myself down with the bens 100% deet.... apparently they dont care.

 

Nice pics man, This makes me want to get out alone

 

Its not bad if ya dont get stuck, or break anything... but out there... it would have been a mighty long walk for help, if something bad did happen. Just go prepared and know your, and your trucks limits...

 

very cool pics bud, my rents went up to Maine last winter and they said it was incredible. Plase post up some more of those kinds of pics soon!

 

That trail is beautiful man. Great pics
