    I can give you a couple of ideas for shooting moose in the Millinocket area. If you go to Millinocket (not hard to find) and you go to the center of town, ask for directions to Golden Road....a popular hangout for moose....I've been there and been able to get withing 20 yards of them. If you can get to Greenville, keep going on Lilly Bay Road until you get to the edge of Kokadjo. If you take a left you arrive at a place called Lazy Tom Bog....there are almost always moose there in the morning and late afternoon. The road itself is Moose central....moose like the bogs along it and you can actually watch them feeding and they cross the road frequently. It may sound fantastic, but it's true...been there done it (see my shot "Twins") (The time you're going is not ideal for moose, however...too many tourists!) You can also shoot Mt. Kineo from Rockville....about 20 minutes from Greenville on Moosehead Lake. Acadia is a wonderland to shoot....Do Sand Beach (watch out for jellyfish!) Otter Cliffs, Thunder Hole, (and that entire Park Loop Road...if you've never been there you'll be awed by its beauty). If you have time, hike Gorham Mountain....not too rugged a climb and a fabulous view of the coastline. Somesville is a gorgeous little town very near Acadia...you've probaly seen shots of the library there and will recognize it. The town is right at the mouth of Somes Sound, and it too is very picturesque. Jordan Pond is another very scenic spot, but will be crowded at that time of year. Get out early each day and you'll beat most of the tourists. Cadillac Mt is gorgeous, and offers many views of Frenchman's Bay and the other mountains surrounding Cadillac. Bar Harbor is a pretty little town, and is another great spot....you can go down to the Town landing and shoot to your heart's content...plenty of room (and keep your eyes open for eagles over the ocean!) I think the hardest part for you is going to be deciding what you want to shoot. Good luck! I hope you get some beautiful weather and scenery while you're there!</p>
