Greenville

After many false starts over the years, we finally got to Moosehead Lake. It was certainly worth the trip, although we endured disappointment when we learned that the MV Katahdin was not running because of a fuel pump problem. Our billet was the Moose Mountain Inn, which is actually a motel, and a very nice one. The lake, of course, is huge and the various perspectives that come with driving around are wonderful. On a short trip to Lily Bay State park there is a gorgeous view from the road, in front of the imposing Blair Hall. Breakfast at Auntie M's was excellent. Our two dinners were at Kelly's Landing, where you can eat on a deck right by the lake, and Flatlanders, both satisfying and inexpensive, though not gourmet. We cheated and spent two nights here, but, after all, it is a long drive!
