I have two things that I am wondering about and perhaps you can help. First as I mentioned earlier Maine Outdoors is celebrating its 30^th anniversary this year. I am trying to come up with a good way to celebrate. Perhaps an event? Cookout? Kids fishing event? Fundraiser for a local charity; perhaps the local land trust or the Maine Guides Education Fund (the guide’s association charitable arm)?

After a very warm fall and early winter it felt like winter might never come. Over the last twenty four hours things changed. Six inches of new snow overnight and steadily falling temperatures today (down to 18 at 4PM) with plenty of Northwest wind to make sure we feel the chill.

After realizing that Maine Outdoors has been around for 30 years I have been giving some thought to a couple of lists. First are the best ways to celebrate that gives something back to the people and natural resources that have made this long run possible. Second recalling all of the amazing memories and opportunities that happened along the way.
