Your Scribe did not see any moose in Rangeley this fall but had such a good time that I am returning this weekend.

Here is a photo of a scenic lookout at Rangeley Lake, with some historical context which includes an old photo of a grand hotel that once stood overlooking the water.

A reader gave me a "how-to" about locating moose. Actually, she would be called a "commenter." After I posted a blog about my trip in which I did not see a moose, Nancy gave me some specific advice in the "comments" section:

"You were on the right track, try route 16 out of Rangeley either going towards Eustis or Cupsuptic at or around dusk. They love to hang around in muddy areas we call "moose mucks" so if you see one, they aren't far away. We used to live in Rangeley and one weekend in October went out on the logging roads and counted over 20...they are out there...I also don't recommend driving around in the dark looking for them because by the time you see them, it may be too late for you and your car to stop!!! Good luck."

So I am off to Rangeley again, in hope of seeing a couple of the noble beasts. I am going at dusk, when viewing appears to be at its best.

I hope I don't get too close, like hitting a bull and having it come crashing through the car window.
