Plans emerging, unfolding, growing...

 

Early morning...new life

Spring brings the unfolding of new life, as the woods are transformed from a tapestry of subtle pinks and greens to the intense foliage of summer.  So, too, are plans unfolding around here.  The website thermometer took a jump to $2,980!  $7,000 more to the goal... 

The Northern Forest Canoe Trail mails its printed newsletter, Currents and Communities, to 1,900 readers twice a year.  My Spring-Summer 2011 issue arrived in my mailbox yesterday...with our article called "Paddling Against Childhood Cancer" inside.  A rewarding and sobering moment!  Don't think I mentioned, either, that the NFCT has a link to this blog under their Paddlers section, right in there with Team Black Cat and the Rough Water Gypsies, the two thru paddling teams so far for 2011.  The former have finished the NFCT and are now on the AT heading to Georgia and the latter just finished the Saranac River and are on the shores of Lake Champlain, at the beginning of Map 4 of the NFCT.  (There are 13 maps in all for the 13 sections...I will be paddling across the state of Maine on Sections 8 through 13).
