RE: Pics from some recent Maine snowmobiling trips

Quality may not be that good since they were taken by my friend's Droid cell phone.

Pics are from a recent ride in the Millinocket Area near Baxter State Park . . . mountain is the distance is Mt. Katahdin.

Here's me wearing my trapper hat that my sister in Alaska sent to me . . . made out of beaver fur and sheepskin leather. I need to send it back to her though since it is a bit large . . . my wife says it looks like I'm all hair and a rabid beaver is attacking my head.

This photo is taken near the local restaurant in town where we typically ride to for breakfast before starting out on our rides.

Not really all that picturesque . . . I mean there would have been some cool shots of the mountains and the B-52 bomber wreckage site on Elephant Mountain . . . but for some reason my buddy never took any of those pics . . . instead he shot this pic of a bunch of sleds parked on Moosehead Lake in front of the Black Frog Restaurant . . . the only place I've seen that offers moose balls on the menu . . . of course they're $1,200 or so and you have to give 24 hours notice . . . also one of the few places that offered a free Skinny Dip sandwich . . . if you actually skinny dipped into the often frigid Moosehead Lake . . . at least they did until someone took them up on the offer and a local resident pitched a fit.

Looks like fun. I want to try it but every time I want to go something come up.

In another lifetime someone in our household used to race sleds. We even have a couple of trophies sitting around here...

Great pics, I just bought an older Ski-Doo MXZ 700. This season is almost over but I look forward to next!
