Six couples arrived in town today in addition to the three already here for Steve and Laura's group get together for the GLS Folk Art Festival. We did some fishing on the stream and on the lake and caught up.
Trip Log
July 26, 2012
Spent the morning doing chores while Steve guided and the girls cleaned the house getting ready for the folk arts weekend when they will be getting a lot of company. I went fishing in the stream and caught a good size salmon and a couple of small bass.
July 25, 2012
Spent an hour on the stream today sharing it with some baby ducks. Steve was guiding and the girls were running errands. This afternoon we all played nine holes at St. Croix. It is a nice course on the river south of Calais and we try to play it every time we come up here.
July 24, 2012
Steve and Laura hosted a dinner party this evening featuring fresh Maine lobster and corn roasted on their new barbecue. The party was for six couples and the food and company were excellent.
July 23, 2012
We walked down to Lee and Sue Whitely's this morning and they gave us a little tour of the work they have been doing on the house and their cottages. The girls then headed off to St. Andrews, Canada to do some shopping and I did some more stream fishing while Steve attended a short meeting.
July 22, 2012
Steve guided again today, Alesa and Laura decorated and I watched the British open while preparing an operating system backup just in case of a hard drive failure. Steve finished early so we did a little fishing on Big Lake.
July 21, 2012
Steve was guiding today so I bought a 15 day Maine fishing license and spent the morning fishing on the stream. Alesa and Laura went shopping in Eastport and Calais. This afternoon I went shooting and driving backwoods trails. The weather has been beautiful.
July 20, 2012
Today was our first full day in Grand Lake Stream, ME. Alesa helped Laura plant the flowers we brought from our house and I helped Steve patch his raft which was torn during a ride down the stream.
July 19, 2012
Thursday morning we left Salem and drove through Manchester and Concord to Lincoln and drove across the Kancamagus trail, a beautiful scenic byway through the White Mountains. We arrived at Steve and Laura's at about 6:30.
July 18, 2012
We left home Wednesday morning on our way to Maine. We arrived in Salem, NH at about 1:30 in the afternoon and went to America's Stonehenge after a large thunderstorm. It was very interesting but led to a lot of "now they're just making stuff up".
