Camping at Kokadjo
Jun 19
Yesterday after Church I drove 180 miles north to Kokadjo, it’s roughly 20 miles past Greenville, Maine. The weather was hovering around 86 with a hazy sky (not from smog). When I arrived we ate cheeseburgers that I had prepared earlier. We had planned on hiking but Dad did not bring the right shoes so instead we went 4-wheeling. The air is freshly filled with the scent of water, pine trees and pure air, it’s rejuvenating. We stopped at Penobscot pond which is 18 miles from Roach pond, where Dad’s camp is located. Penobscot pond had some very large tadpoles, it appears that these tadpoles will turn into large frogs if a Snapper does not decide to have a snack.
Later in the day I went swimming with my cousin Hunter. The water was 60 degrees, which was cold until your body adjusted. After swimming we decided to hunt for Crayfish, which look like mini-Lobsters. We found three hiding under a few large rocks near the shore. Dad boiled them and we all ate one to see if they taste like Lobster, to my surprise they do!
On the way home I snapped a few photos of the sunset over Lilly bay. I did not see one Moose on the ride home which was very unusual.
Here are some of the photos I took
: Dad & I, Live Crayfish, Live Crayfish, Cooked Crayfish, Eaten Crayfish, baby Ducks, sunset and the sunset few minutes later.
