Dad...remember when...

We paddled down that big river in Maine...It was you and me, and Stephanie came with us. Do you remember when you caught that big fish, and Glen cooked it for our supper and then we slept under the stars, then the next day I caught my first brook trout and it was way bigger than the one you caught.

Do you remember that Village that was up on Chesuncook Lake, where people used to live years ago, and wasn't that the river where the River Driver's used to send those logs all the way to the ocean.. You know Dad, ever since that trip, I can paddle really well, and I can even set up my own campfire and cook my own meals.

Dad, do you think we can do that trip again this year and bring Mom this time, I think she would really like it. We could even bring the dog...

You know my favorite part...

Dad, my favorite part was when you did not have to work and you could spend the whole day with me.

Remember, you did not have your computer with you, and you were not getting those phone calls from work.

Do you remember we saw those shooting stars? I really loved napping in those hammocks Dad, we really should have one somewhere in the house, you know it's a really good idea...

It is possible to forget about the hassle and dig deep into another world

We all have things to do...one of the most important is to take time for you. This world in the North Woods is a beautiful untamed one; the rivers flow freely, the lakes are vast, the skies are huge. More than anything it will give you the opportunity to reconnect with you and also whatever family members you choose to bring with you for this adventure.

The Food will be great - Glen loves to cook, so expect steaks, fish (you may catch some), hearty breakfasts, coffee that tastes amazing out underneath the open skies. Everything is included from when you reach us; we provide the camping equipment, food, canoes, and guide. You should pack your sleeping bag, clothes, bug spray, fishing license, camera and some other incidentals that we will inform you of before you get here.
