So before I begin this post it is only fair that it contains a precursor. This is a long post as it contains the remaining portion of our journey from Rangeley to Fort Kent, so make yourself comfortable, go make a nice sandwich and cold glass of your beverage of choice...I'll wait. OK, you back? Did you get a pickle (they compliment sandwiches very well)? No, well, go ahead, I'm not going anywhere (granted the power doesn't go out) as this is just photons bouncing off from your screen to your retinas. Alright, you settled? Ready for the long haul?

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
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.
