the spectacular nature of this wilderness area (park in the designated parking area 4.5 miles in just before Haskell Gate).


This year on September 16th, KWW will once again offer the annual opportu- nity to sleep under the stars which will be spectacular since that area is one of the best for clear dark skies and star gazing. On hand are telescopes and astronomers to point out the planets, Saturn being very evident that night! Though highway signage for finding KWW is limited, it is


well marked once you get there. Maps and Directions as well as other info on the New National Monument can be found at: https://www.nps.gov/kaww.


Last but not least, you can kayak, boat


or ATV (which disturbs the quiet but is a way many modern outdoor enthusiasts go) to **Bible Point, a State designated site where Theodore Roosevelt went to read his Bible, contemplating the wonders of nature and life.

The opportunities to be in nature in this region abound, whether kayaking on the lakes or walking the ATV trails, where you rarely meet a soul because of the low population and vast expanse of lands, rolling hills and open fields. Wildflowers are nature’s way of offering the opposite of groomed gardens, offering delight and cu- riosity along your walks through the woods and around the lakes. With very little effort, northern Maine offers a paradise you can step into easily by driving up 95. The sun warms you during the day, the moon lights your way at night. As a young Theodore Roosevelt did with my great grandfather, you too, with a little effort, can take the time to step away into the healing nature of northern Maine. All it takes is a little time, planning…and maybe asking a local how to get to Mount Chase!


*Please note a lot of roads in Northern Maine are shared private logging roads. Visit www.nps.gov for information and warnings.
