Welcome to my journal of a month-long, 400 mile canoe trip from sea level in Quebec, up through uplands of Maine and back to sea level in Penobscot Bay. Sorry, I couldn't resist adding long-loading images to the pages, but I still enjoy gazing at the details. You can click through the days, one at a time. To return to a previous day, return to this calendar and click on the date you want to read. At any time, you can click on the [Route] link and bring up a small pop-up window with a map of the route. Enjoy! - Matt Hopkinson
