No Ones There

I'm headed for the Aligash wherever that is. It is the wilderness in what is called the Northern Maine Woods. It is a place where they have to pick you up by boat and bring you back by boat because there ain't no way to get there by road. This is the moose hiking run that was planned with maybe a little fishing. I don't get spooked by the dark, I mean the dark, when no lights are to be found only the stars of night and the moon. It will feel like times gone by when shepherds sat with their flocks in isolation in the wilderness of Judea. I know one thing for sure we can't outrun God and He may display His magnificence even greater to me in this far away country. I will have my camera and pictures will follow although my camera is not best at the big scene. I am promised that I will see moose plural and that they will be close. It is not the best fishing season but we will have some fun with that and we will site see the Chamberlain Lake area. The next day we will hike a nine mile trail that loops around the deepest gorge in the east. I have walked some hills and stretched my lungs in steep terrain but we'll see if I can make a decent pace. This is exciting and I know how much my son wants to show me his playground. I've shared much of what makes me happy with him, it is time I really experience something that gives him great joy. Wish me luck, and more importantly God's blessing.
