No Harold the Helldiver Moose but some people where out there looking for it. Just a pretty sunset.

Driving through the Moose River Plains, near Helldiver and Icehouse Pond. There is almost something sacred about driving between the pines, the blueberries and brush in Moose River Plains. It has to be one of my favorite places in New York State.
