I always get Jerry and Rollin all mixed up.. Jerry is a talented painter ; I remember when the town of Old Town had an auction of hand painted eight foot canoes. Jerry actually had become in love with his contribution and out bid the crowd . Some $2000 worth Some of the canoes were...

Did you contact the Penobscot Nation beforehand? The museum is open by appointment with a guide. It is not a drop in tourist attraction. Neither is Shaw and Tenney right now. You do know that ownership transferred just two weeks ago ? Not sure what you were expecting in Old Town. They...

Lumbermens Museum in Patten We go. there twice a year for the fiddlehead festival and the beanhoke festival

I am more than a little confused. Fairfield and Waterville are near the Kennebec. And north of Acadia is up toward Baxter not on the coast/ However northeast of Acadia is the Sunrise Trail and bike trails in the Schoodic Peninsula division of the park which is much less peopled than MDI...

I would think theft would be more likely in canoe country. We have transported boats over 200,000 miles and never had an issue. But motels for the most part were never in canoeing areas. I do remember when someone stole the plug on the side of the Placid Boatworks building.. Not...

ugh..So overrated. I way prefer Dysarts in Hermon.. Voted the best truckstop food in America. Moodys has pie and thats all I will say. Campgrounds shut down early Oct away from the coast That said. Find the Sandbanks campsite in Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument and while it is...

Shuttle services are quite rare. Rental cars in canoe country non existent. We had a breakdown in Kokadjo and the tow was to Skowhegan 100 miles away ( nearest garage that could handle repair) and the nearest available rental car another 100 miles away in Portland. Actually cash is king...

Trees can fall when they are ready. Birds or no birds. The birds probably sensed a movement in the tree and left. After all it was dead , right?

the NFCT in Maine doesn't pass by inns with one exception..Between Attean Pond Lodge and the Birches on Moosehead is about a 40 mile paddle There is a camp on Long Pond and possibly one on Brassua Lake to break the trip up which would end at the Birches..a very very nice...

um. We typically don't paddle the canoe with the trailer attached!

Looking at records I bought it for $1400 and so a fair price for it would be $1000, 1750 with boat.

Your dad would be so disappointed now. Too many motorboats.. Rangeley has gotten..er genrtified.

I would do it splitting meals as you go. Otherwise that is a lot of wasted plastic. The downside is you have a dupe meal the second night. Usually it is easy to shake the dried meal thoroughly once you have opened it.. Just let some air in and close it and shake

1997 Family Four. by MO Trailers. 14 inch wheels , spare tire, electric all works, Marine plywood box that still seems intact. Open top. The frame for the box is all steel. Similar to this but the box sides are wood in a metal frame and my trailer carries four craft. I will...

The 10 foot long open cockpit puts Monarch squarely in canoe country.. It is ridiculous to say that it is a kayak just cause you can cut off kayak decks to make a facsimile. The Monarch is a deep sea canoe with three seating positions vertically. I have kayaks too. They are...

Big differences between wilderness trips and long mileage in a confined space i can do 2 weeks on a wilderness solo but five hours on a confined space with a featureless horizon does it for me

The Green deserves multiple trips. You never get tired of it. I have to go back; only run it twice. Once in spring but a tamer spring!

Test of friendship The lack of variety of scenery will focus you on each other The scenery will either be calm or terrifying For this reason space travel isn't appealing to me either

Monarch is not a kayak. You do not wear it. It is waterborne living quarters. This discussion is just cows chewing cud. Nothing new. Put a spray skirt on your canoe. Gee...its a kayak!! geez Canoes are worldwide and I suspect where ever there are trees of any species that were a...
