As winter begins to lose its grip and spring takes over there is a lot happening and not 
just with the weather! We can see the driveway, our road is muddy, Argy and I were fortunate to make a trip to a bear den with Maine's bear biologists, the Lund Alaskan left the yard (not to worry a new one is already in Ellsworth waiting to be brought home) and a new partnership with Libby Camps and Downeast Magazine is launched.
You can read about most of these events below and if you know of someone who might also enjoy this newsletter please forward it to them.
I've already begun making plans for when the ice goes out and am looking forward to getting back on the water with you in the new boat!
Best regards,

| Amazing Opportunity |
 You may know that Maine's bear biologists track bears using radio collars as part of their study of the population and as part of that they need to visit the dens of collared bears every winter. To get samples examine cubs and maintain the collars. Sometimes they take along members of the public as part of an ongoing education effort about that program and this year Argy and I were invited, something that she has wanted to do for a number of years.

Good Bye Old Boat!

The new Lund Alaskan is scheduled for delivery in a couple of weeks, that is
 assuming that the weather begins to look a little more like spring (10 degrees with a strong wind at 9 AM today), and the boat that has been my working platform for the last six years was for sale. Until yesterday.

| North Woods Adventure |
Winter is a time to think about changes at Maine Outdoors and there will be a few new things coming this year. The first is an exciting partnership with Downeast Magazine and Libby Camps that will breathe life into a trip I have long thought many would enjoy. The working title the North Woods Adventure.
