Maine canoeing Chesuncook and more
Cuxabexis Exploration, Maine
July 21, 2006
Went to breakfast about 7. Went to post office and mailed postcard. Drove to Conovers’ North Woods Ways outsided Willamantic. Their large barn building is filled with all kinds of wonderful things, pulleys and drapes, lots of things from Lehman’s non-electric store. They helped us—the people on the trip: Barbara from near NYC, Tom & Judy from Montana, and Neena from Salem Mass. & us get our stuff bagged and underway.
There was a giant ziplock bag of gorp (nuts and chocolate and raisins) for each of us labeled cheerily with each of names like schoolchildren which was a great reassuring way to start things off. Gary drove their van to Greenville and ?, a giant outdoor shop and ShopKo grocery for some of the groceries. There was a big slate business in the first town. Then up northward on endless miles of private dirt timber roads. We stopped at a waterfalls and rapids for lunch on the rocks. I kept falling asleep due to being up very late packing and cleaning. So I missed several of the wildlife sightings including a grouse family and some moose loping about.
