<p>The first time I ever heard a loon was canoe camping beside a pond in Baxter State Park, Maine. When you have no idea what <em>that sound</em> is (<em>what that sound is?</em> -L and O), a loon call in the dark is terrifying. </p>
<p>It's a been a long time since then, but I'll never forget that sound. I think about it every time we walk around the pond at Memorial Park. </p>
<p><amp-img alt="Pond in Baxter State Park Maine" height="471" src="https://images.luxagraf.net/2014/pond-in-maine-baxter-state-park.jpg" width="960"></amp-img></p>
<p>The pond at Memorial Park looks nothing like this one, which is the one I camped by in Maine, but memory is a funny thing. For whatever reason the little pond at Memorial Park reminds me of that one in Maine. There is no physical resemblance at all. Baxter is a wild place with few people around. The pond at Memorial Park is the opposite. There's even a fountain in the middle. Still, something about it.</p>
<p>L and O have never heard a loon, never been to Baxter State Park. Yet. </p>
<p>They're happy with the swings and the slides and the ducks. </p>

<p>Geese they are not such big fans of, but last week the geese weren't around. Just ducks.</p>

<p>And climbing, you can never climb atop too many rocks.</p>
