Our first bear sighting occurred during our second attempt at Kennebec Pass. We drove this pass earlier in the year (June?) but was unable to make it all the way to the top because of snow. Our second attempt, in August was successful, and the views were well worth it. It is incredible to think this beautiful landscape is our "backyard."
Ryan had the idea to pack up our dinner, and this adventure became our dinner and entertainment for the evening. Little did we know, the wildlife of the area would also be joining us. Fortunately, our bear sighting was while we were driving, and nowhere near our picnic sight, but a couple deer decided to check out what we were having for dinner.
Surrounded by beautiful scenery, dining on delicious food, and entertained by wildlife, what more could you ask for...
*And since I know Ryan will say, "You can have the same things when you go camping." I will add, and we didn't even have to camp for this wonderful experience. :)

Preparing dinner. The top of the Pass is at the look out point, the notched area on the top ridge.
Straight up, and slightly left of our picnic blanket.
The notch was man made, put there to make transport between mines in the area easier. |
