Perkins Landing!
I find my self returning to your NFCT blog frequently as I plan my section trips, and I have a question for you. It appears that after your travel over the Grand Portage, and stop at Jewetts general Store, that you probably stayed somewhere overnight before moving on down Memphremagog. Did you camp? If so, where? I'll be with a few guys doing this section in the opposite direction, and we're hoping to camp somewhere in or near Vale Perkins if we can. Any info you can send (to my e-mail) would be greatly appreciated! -Chuck

Not a Clydesdale
That horse you've labeled as a Clydesdale is not one. It looks like a Belgian.

Two Rivers Lunch Allagash Maine
I really enjoyed your article. Awesome Pics. Sounds like you had a blast especially meeting Evelyn. My parents own Two Rivers Lunch and I can hardly wait for them to read this article. I will print a copy and put it in the restaurant. Hope you make this an annual event. Oh, and by the way we "Moosetowners" always said, "Make a mad dash to the "Gash" and that would be one awesome canoe race. Free Breakfast at Two Rivers Lunch for both of you if you get this one started.

There had been a rumor going around Asheville that The Pilgrim was considering a return. That sledding video looks pretty sweet. Almost awesome enough to make me wish for an early return to winter.

thanks for posting
Nice post dude. Things are looking good in your neck of the woods. Just watch out that you don't do too much "relaxing" or "enjoying company".

Driven through the White Mountains many times, but never hiked around there. Sounds like an awesome trip! Especially the part about all the blueberries and the Ramen stuffing stuff . . . mmm . . . I shouldn't read your journal while I'm hungry. The "What's he looking at?" picture of Tom is great. It's epic, except he's cheesin a little too hard. :D He needs a more serious look and some armor.

Hey!
Luke! Hey there! How are you!?! What a great canoe trip -- glad to see you're enjoying the free time that comes with being out of school. I don't think I ever gave you permission to leave Montana. I just got here, and was looking forward to visiting you in Bozeman, but no longer. Glad you're doing well. Take care, Hilary

Rhyolite - 40 years ago
While participating with an Explorer Scout troop in 1968, which specialized in desert exploration, we ended up in Rhyolit after spending the day at the Mint 400 desert auto race. There was a terrible sand storm blowing, winds about 50 mph and you could not see anything. We took shelter in the abandoned and dilapidated three story bank building, the only place secure enough to endure the wind and sand was one of the two old bank vaults. We could not get our gear into the upper vault as it had been stripped of the bank flooring, so we sheltered in teh lower one which smelled really bad, worse that a port-o-potty. The next day we went to an old railroad station in town that had been set up as a museum, one of the few remaining buildings in tact. It was being run by an old lady. She asked about our small group, and we told her that we had sheltered in the lower vault at the old bank. A grim look came over her face and she informed us that a few days before the police had recovered a completely nude, male body with the finger chopped off and the head missing - obviously a mob hit in her words. Thus explained the smell - The town itself back then was actually very interesting historically, as it had been one of the largest towns in Nevada with over 35,000 inhabitants, three major railroads and no less than five major banks. When the government reduced the price of gold, the mines laid off workers on a temporray basis expecting the price of goald to resume at it's original rate. Many of the peopel who were originally from other states as far back as the eats coast packed up their bags for a trip not much different than a vacation. Gold did not increase, the mines stayed closed and people did not return, some had even left their doors unlocked and wash hanging on the lines drying in the desert sun. The reason Rhyolite lookes the waty it does is that building materials were very scarce in teh desert, and when the railroads quit running to that town, people would just strip all the buildings of anything useful. The shell of thebank survived because it was reinforced concrete - no way to take it way by theives.
