We'll be doing a small section of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, conceptually a sort of riverine cousin to the Appalachian Trail.

A friend who's organizing the trip recently spoke with some people who just returned from the NFCT: In the week they were on the river, they only saw one human--- a Ranger, on patrol. Sounds nice!
I have a couple dry-bags, and will be bringing my camera. I hope to have some very nice pix to show you from the deep Maine woods in early-foliage-season.
I'll be gone for about a week (exact return is hard to predict). See you then!

Awesome! Have a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteHey Fred,
ReplyDeleteHave a great time. Although it happened almost 35 years ago, I vividly remember the trip I took with a group to the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota and southern Canada. The only other people we met on the trip were two summer employees of the NPS marking a possible new trail through the forest. Can't wait for the photos.

I know how nice it is there Fred! I was born in Maine and have been in the middle of know where's there many many times. It's peaceful and almost another world. I hope you have a fantastic time!
