Western Maine Rain

Rain rain go away and come back another day.....my God we are getting pounded with rain in the Western mountains of Maine. Since Saturday we have recorded in excess of 8 1/2 inches at Moose Look Lodge. Rivers and streams have over flowed their banks closing roads and creating havoc. Now our concern has become the effects on the turkey and partridge broods. Up until now it was going to be a good spring for the birds. The water levels are playing havoc with fishing as well, Today started out beautiful and by the time Daisy and I got home it was pouring, in fact, I had to pull over to the side of the road to take her out of the bed of the pickup and put her in the back seat to keep her dry. The weather man tells us this the weekend will bring us sunshine and fair weather. Just in time to get the lawn mower out and cut the grass before it becomes a hay field. 

The other big news here in the mountains is the new Oxford Casino has opened. This is a full gaming casino opened 24 hours a day seven days a week. For more information before coming up visit their site at www.oxfordcasino.com.

Joe and Liz have informed me that they have built a new laundry facility to accommodate their guest at Parlin Lake Lodge and Cabins. Please visit their site at www.lakeparlinlodge.com. Joe and Liz have transformed this facility into the nicest resort in Western Maine. The cabins and lodge are brand new and very well constructed, located only feet from the waters edge. If you are planing a family vacation to Maine, put them on your list, I promise, you will have the time of your life and will not want to leave. The fishing is fabulous and moose spotting's are common.

Well, I hope to report better weather on my next posting, and I will have some news on the new casino as we are going to visit there this weekend. Until then, stay dry where ever you are.

Jeff
