Lake Umbagog State Park
In late May 2009 we took our newly purchased Coalman/Fleetwood "Santa Fe" Tent trailer out for a test run. To say that we had a blast is a gross-understatement.
We travelled up late afternoon Friday under a typical North-Eastern Early-Summer Sky...

The first morning saw coffee, breakfast of Fried Eggs and Sausage Gravy over toast and then some fishing (Anton and Caden getting serious on the Androscoggin River!!)
A solitary Loon in front of of our campsite in the dock area
Fishing another spot along the Androscoggin River
After a long day, a good campfire sets the stage for a good nights sleep. With a sunset to die for, Loons calling across the lake, and Bull Moose bellowing on the nearby ridges, we had a really good time.
If you listen very close while playing the above video, you wil hear an "Alm" horn... a 12-16 foot long Swiss/Bavarian horn played normally in the Alps. A couple had brought one and played it out over the water in the evenings allowing it to echo out on the lake and off the nearby mountain-tops. At one point, Bull Moose nearby were answering the horns' calls. Out of view are the bats fishing over the water.
After a long day fishing, one needs to catch up on some sleep, This is best done with a good pal!!
We saw a "few" Moose while up North...
The above is a LARGE video of a small Bull Moose feeding that Maggie took
Ten to be exact... 9 Bulls and 1 Cow!!
We were told Lake Umbagog is full of tasty fish. Caden agreed!! Over the weekend he caught Lakers, a 13" Small-Mouth Bass and Red-Breasted Sunfish! I ended up catching a small Pickerl.
