      Thanks. My sister-in-law is from Acton, Maine and is joining me for the last 10 days .... Being from Maine I'm sure you handled the weather easily.

      LOL, hijacking is more than welcome. People are bringing up points I never even thought about and it all good stuff. Really excited to start the adventure and maybe run into a few of you. I had planned to start for St. Jean around 3/10, may...
