Yesterday afternoon was cool and breezy with lots of sun. Argy and I launched the Lund Alaskan and made the first trip of 2013 through the stretch of river into Round Pond. It really was too chilly to linger but the first trip of the season is now behind us. Our most interesting sighting was a goose sitting on a nest on top of a beaver lodge making every effort to hide while right out in the open.
There have been some significant changes at Maine Outdoors this spring. Some planned some unplanned but all for the best. A new (to me) Toyota Sequoia for getting clients to the water and hauling the various trailers and boats. A nice upgrade but I am still figuring out how my system will fit into it. Storage for retail items in the summer and dog boxes for the fall all need to be figured out and set up.
This morning is the first to feel like spring. Warm, robins singing and no frost. My thoughts are turning to getting back to the things that fill my summers and fall. All outdoor activities of course and I am one of those lucky folks that has a job that he would do even on a day off! As a working guide I am truly fortunate to spend most of my summer and fall outdoors.
