Woke Up to a Surprise Feature in National Geographic!
You can imagine my surprise this morning when I opened my phone to find my name and Maine Outdoors featured in National Geographic!
An article, titled “You haven't been to Maine until you've visited these small towns,” was published today and highlights the true character of our state—the dirt roads, the warmly lit inns, and the people who make Maine "the way life should be."

It is fascinating how the universe presents related topics. I started my day discussing a difficult situation involving a now unlicensed and unethical guide. It was a stark reminder of how important professional integrity is to our profession and its public perception.
I admit to being lulled into a vision that the warm comfortable fall would last longer. Say until Christmas. Clearly mother nature had other ideas though. Last week Argy and I enjoyed a vacation that included Thanksgiving dinner with family in New Jersey and other stops around the region. Like the fall up to that point it was warm and pretty much dry. Only a jacket needed.
