Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge

6/30/2008 On the road again to near Caribou and (after lots of searching again) found one gate to the Aroostook NWR. Not really much here (that we found) but took a 1/3 mile walk to a cute lake.

Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge

7/1/2008 Headed a short way north to the visitor center for the Sunkhaze Meadow NWR and got map and brochures. After circling some, finally got on a normal then gravel road along the mostly undeveloped NWR. Spotted the parking area for the Ash Landing trail after about 8 miles of rattling along, parked and walked the 0.25 mile trail (along with lots of mosquitoes) through nice woods to the Sunkhaze Stream. Headed right back, swatting bugs all the way.
