Sometimes, it was rough going, but I always felt safe in that canoe. We even took it out on the ocean to the Isles of Shoals! "Uncle" Wallace built 3 Grand Lake Stream canoes in his garage. He painted one in the traditional green, one fire-engine red and one blue. One of the canoes was on display L.L. Bean's showroom for many years. Eventually it ended up in L.L. Bean's Museum warehouse. We drove down there in hopes of seeing it, but the warehouse/museum isn't open to the public.

It's 20 miles NW of Augusta, along Rt 17. <br />When I saw the cat, I was in the wooded area across Rt 17, from the camp.<br />The area had been logged, and there was lots of slash (limbs from the harvested trees).<br />I had a bow and was hunting (poaching, sad to say), so I assume I was trying to be quiet. I just caught a glimpse of the cat. He was the size of a Labrador Retriever. He was brown/tan (no spots).<br />I just saw him briefly and he traveled so quietly that I wondered if I imagined it. But, I can remember that image to this day, now 40 years later.<br />Jim Yuill<br />Cherry Hill, NJ<br />jimyuill at pobox dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495065447190191652.post-15374469389273882732016-11-15T22:11:23.341-05:002016-11-15T22:11:23.341-05:00Paracord projects are my thing, but I have never t...Paracord projects are my thing, but I have never thought of developing a gun sling.

I ordered a pair of their Buffalo Hide unlined moccasins a little less than a year ago and was more than a little impressed. Although very comfortable right out of the box, the moccasins have since just kept getting MORE comfortable. As owner Mark Wintle has said, the Buffalo Hide (as compared to the Bull Hide or Cow Hide) has a very pleasant spongy "give" to it. Additionally, Buffalo Hide has a beautiful pebble grain that is quite attractive. I'm going to be ordering a pair of their Buffalo Hide mocs to wear outdoors. There are very few shoes I've owned that I sometimes forget that I'm wearing; that's how supremely comfortable these moccasins are. Worth every penny and more. IMHO, these are the finest moccasins available at any price, anywhere.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495065447190191652.post-13059892707417511672016-10-24T20:36:09.258-04:002016-10-24T20:36:09.258-04:00My Uncle and I have been up there.
