    Cold handle frying pans, they’re still out there.

    I'm slowly working on a set of enamel cookware. I've got a couple of coffee pots, 2 pans, and a bunch of coffee cups, and on the lookout for the plates. It's a little too Patricia J. Bell but I thought I might try it.

    What's your Portage Pace?

    I like Ports and I always double. On the return, you are most likely going to find me off on the side of the port looking at the vegetation. There is one that I do at a quicker pace and that one is the Carry around Allagash Falls. By the time you get there, it's been 4-5 days sitting in the...
