Well guys, I am not as familiar with the area as you all probably are. My wife Julie, and I have been married only 9 years. (My 2nd marriage) but we dated for 6 years before we decided to stop living in sin. I started going up there in '96, when both her dad and brother were still alive. Warren was a real sport, and it's easy to understand why he moved back there when he retired. A real four season guy. I have done my share of exploring the lower Moosehead area, as well as lots of time off-roading in the Allegash. We pulled off the Lilly Bay Road somewhere around First Roach Pond, and told my son to take the wheel. He was 13 then, and we spent the next 3 hrs hanging on while he got the feel of driving. We've dangled a line in just about every spot bigger than a puddle, cooked on the beach what we caught and generally soaked as much in as we could. I set my parking brake years ago, but my son flies every day, and has since high school. He is as comfortable is a 185 as he is in the right seat of an HC-130. He loves floats. We discovered a birdie spot off the Scammon Road one day while picking blueberries. I see them in the road pretty much all the time, but unlike the locals, I still won't take a shot unless they're on the wing.
Dean, I called Julie's uncle a few minutes ago to ask if he knew Pete Grass, though I don't. He said "sounds familiar" but says Russell Ryder, over in the Junction, now does the towing.
