________________________________________________________
Drove over Golden Road from Millinocket to Seboomook Dam, then on down to Rockwood(western side of Moosehead Lake).
Didn't have a specific hike planned, just drove the Xterra where distance demanded the transportation, exited Golden Road to head towards Seboomook Dam stretch of Penobscot's West Branch.

Saturday July 19th Pics...

A couple short Youtube videos:
1) Ragged Stream...flowing into Caribou Lake and crossing under GoldenRoad ..Possess the quality of a NewYear's Day hangover....;-)

2) Outflow (start of section of WestBranch of Penobscot, seen from top of Seboomook Dam


Having a good time is easy on beautiful sunshine days like Saturday..mid-to-upper 70s..., much easier than the time I had trying to post individual images...;-)..So I just chucked them for the whole gallery in one....(above link)

100yds...!

Nope...no specific touring...
I was interested more in the traffic around/thru these areas(as I know them well).. Sorry Steeze ! ;- 0 I had to put it(& images) somewhere...;-)...
The trail mileage isn't always what produces the quality...

Very nice! We were in Baxter that day and once the clouds cleared it was a *beautiful* day.

...Saturday...

..Sure was a nice one MichaelJ.
Baxter must've been nice. Although at times we're getting that combo of rain clouds mixed with sunshine....still have some nice breaks.
