Mount Kineo as seen from the Rockwood Waterfront 5-2-15
We only spent about 24 hours in Piscataquis County around Moosehead Lake, but I feel we saw and did so much. We crammed every minute full and left the next afternoon satisfied, yet I am still longing to return again to see what else there is to see!
We stayed at the Greenville Inn
It sits on a hill overlooking the town.
We passed this stained glass window on our way to our room.
We had lace curtains on our bedroom windows framing the view outside.
I even found birds on the wall tiles in the bathroom!
Gus’s car and Mount Kineo had the same shape.
I need to come back in the summer and take the ferry ride over to the State Park!
We stopped by this old train depot on our way back to Greenville.
Sadly, it does not look like much has been donated to save it.
I did find an Eastern Phoebe by the depot though!
After we visited Lily Bay State Park we were hungry, so we went to the local grocery store to buy pizza!
We saw this sign over the door after we were inside!
Gus sitting and waiting for the pizza. We ate it here in this little store.
The almost full moon was glowing over the streets of Greenville, Maine when we were done.
The lights of the Greenville Inn were glowing when we returned!
I was up at dawn the next morning counting birds around the property at the Greenville Inn! Between the two days, I counted 18 species at this location.
Gus and I dined in the dining room for breakfast!
We took one last look before we said good-bye!
After our morning trip up to Lily Bay State Park, we stopped on the main street for coffee, then walked to the waterfront to see the old Katahdin Boat.
