Rip Van "Bul"Winkle


We were "up and at 'em" early this morning hitching a pontoon boat ride over to the island that is Mount Kineo, situated in the middle of Moosehead. (Borrowed a web picture to post.) A 4 1/2 mile round trip hike (or climb) places one at the top of the mountain and the base of an old forest service tower which is also very climbable. Great trip, especially after a few days of being sedentary and scholarly.

After returning to the cabin I took an unintentional and apparently much needed two-hour nap awakened only by the thunder of one of the more violent storms I've ever experienced. I swore that two of the lightening bolts traveled right through the upstairs room of the cabin. The storms canceled the Moose hunting boat excursion planned for late this afternoon. Our hosts, not to be dissuaded, offered another car venture following supper...but the great "Moose Myth" is perpetuated yet another day. No sightings.

The writing has begun and two of the books which I have read are now accounted for in reports.

I understand that worship tomorrow morning will take place in a cabin church just up the road. Holding about forty souls or so, it promises to be filled this time of year. Eric, our host and member of a previously served congregation, is scheduled to solo. T'will be a treat, for sure.

My prayers and thoughts shall be of Atonement.
