Ida’s Notebook Ida Risser Our first day in Maine was spent at Baxter State Park. Our son, Jeffrey, drove us over 100 miles to this big 200,000-acre wilderness.

We had to walk over a split log pathway to a grassy pond. The walking was treacherous as it was over a swamp. I managed to catch my foot on a tree root and sprawled flat without breaking myself or my fishing pole. When we finally got to the pond, we had a big pile of logs to clamber over to reach the water. The men caught a few small ones but had to throw them back and I didn’t get any. The highlight was when Jeffrey fell in with a tyg splash. I should have had my camera. The next day we tried another river and we got three nice small mouth bass which we ate for lunch. It's like Money In the Bank! \ I.

It was our first glimpse of the rock bound coast of Maine. We walked around the summit of Mt. Cadillac and it was very windy. In the evening we had a lobster meal. We weren’t too impressed as after paying a big price, we then had to work to crack the shell and dig out the morsels of white meat. But, a visit to New England USDA names WASHINGTON, D.C.
