Whew!! North Woods Canoe has busted a move. We started down the West Branch of the Penobscot and worked on our paddle strokes. We saw a lot of moose and stopped in at Chesuncook Village to gorge upon home made root beer and fudge. It was a good thing we bought some extra goodies as a motivation for a long day of frogging up a stream. After we left Chesuncook we spent a day headed up "the Horserace" towards Round Pond and Caucomgomic Lake. ( Yes, you read correctly we pushed our boats against the current and battled slippery rocks all for the view from Caucomgomic Dam. And because its the only way to get to where we needed to). It was a great and rewarding first challenge for the group.
We have just completed a 3 mile portage and everyone did a fantastic job and really pushed personal limitation. It is amazing to think that we move 6, eighty pound boats over such a distance and still managed to keep laughing and singing along the way. We were so proud of the group!!
Tomorrow is July 4th and our resupply. We all look forward to hearing from friends and family!
Best wishes to all of our friends and family.

So glad to hear the update!! I've been so worried with the terrible weather, that life on a canoe would not be so great. Hope you continue to have fun and have wonderful adventures. I look forward to receiving a letter?! after the resupply.
Luv and kisses,
Mum and family (the Kimball's)
P.S. We miss you, Billy!!!
Great to get these updates... thanks so much! Looking forward to hearing all the details soon. Leslie Wilson (Peter's Mom)
