Bull Moose and Calf
Location

Description
We had to get up at 4am, drive to the gate at Baxter State Park from Millinocket, Maine and get in line for the 5am opening. It took about 30 minutes to get processed through the gate, then an 8 mile drive on a dirt road to a campground near the pond, followed by a 20 minute hike with all of my gear to a viewpoint on Sandy Stream pond. Fortunately, we had good weather, beautiful fall foliage, and lots of moose and of course, lots of photographers. It was a good day.
