Oh to be this jolly.

A man shows his catch of trout that were caught at Maynard’s Camps, on the Moose River, in Rockwood, Maine. He is identified as Native American Chief Needahbeh. Chief Needahbeh (pronounced Ne-DAH-ba) was the proprietor of Needahbeh’s Shack, a tackle shop at Moosehead Lake in Greenville. A Native American Penobscot, he was also known as Chief Roland Nelson and frequently demonstrated his native traditions at sporting shows.

Ted Hugger reminds us that the Classics are worthy of our adoration with his story on GLEAM, the 12-Meter that graces Maine with her presence each summer.

Wow!

Benjamin River anchorage.
Boat camping is turning out to everything I remember it to be. Fell asleep to an Owl hooting, got woken up by a pack of howling Coyotes under a full moon, and then started the next morning with the moon setting as the sun was rising. Heaven.
