i see a bad mood rising.
spectacular full moon over the lake.
day 4429: odin and evelyn’s island.
it’s about a half mile paddle to this island from camp. It’s interesting from a geological perspective because while it’s a small for an island, it’s still a giant hunk of granite with a small layer of dirt and it’s the only formation of its on the lake. Where did it come from? In any case, I’ve never been on the island, have never seen anyone in it and don’t think it has a name. It’s not on any maps of the lake. Odin and evelyn decided they wanted to make a landing. so they did!
i think it will hereby by known as odin and evelyn’s island.
we made first landing yesterday and we all got out of the kayaks and collected some rocks. When we left a loon let us know she was not very happy with us being in her territory. I don’t think she had a nest on the island but it must have been nearby.
sunrise in the sunrise county.
odin got up at 4:45am with evelyn so he could take this picture of the sunrise. you have to get up mighty early on the eastern edge of the easternmost county in the u.s., known as the sunrise county since it’s where the sun rises first in the continental united states.
amazing shot. he’s got a great eye.

good day of kayaking at camp with odin and evelyn. they were so tired when we asked if they wanted to watch a movie before bed they both say, “maybe tomorrow. we’re tired and going to bed early.” and then proceeded to hatch a plan for getting up to take a picture of the sunrise which comes mighty early in these parts. the lake is beautiful on the nearly full moon. you’ll have to imagine the haunting and beautiful loon calls. camp is on an idyllic, quiet spring fed lake with trout and loons in whiting maine close to the coast. it’s been the family camp for something like 70 years. odin’s great grandfather built the rock wall around the cove in the 1960s that’s still standing today. after 33 hours in the car, we finally arrive at camp in maine! i’m reminded of the local euphemism, “you can’t get there from here.” You can, but it takes a awhile!goodnight moon.
morning at camp.
day 4425: you (almost) can’t get there from here.
