In his “Canoeist’s Sketchbook”, Robert Kimber writes: “…on my
sorties into the bush, I get inklings of dimensions that are closed
to me in the normal rounds of my experience, not inklings of “other” worlds but of the height and depth and breadth of this one here under my feet. To travel the river is to live so much at one with unexplained mystery and miracle that we feel no need of explanation.”
If that sounds like what you are looking for, be my guest! And if you simply want to have a week of good, clean fun, let’s go for it! You will learn a lot out there, about how to fit into the Maine Wilderness and about yourself. Along the way, you will acquire canoeing, backcountry camping and hiking skills and you might learn how to sit under a tree, on the bank of a river and be happy.
