It’s not uncommon for new owners of older homes or farms in Maine to discover they have inherited hazardous waste—caches of old pesticides around their property.

In preparation for an upcoming presentation at the 10th anniversary celebration of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, which will be held Saturday and Sunday, July 24-25, in Rangeley, I got to thinking about the allure of long-distance trails. Long-distance trails possess a magic in that from any point on the trail, one can envision the route continuing “just around the bend” for days and days, if not weeks.

Canoe and kayak outings, an international paddling challenge, and fireworks over Saddleback Mountain are planned for the Northern Forest Canoe Trail (NFCT) Paddlers Rendezvous in Rangeley July 24-25.
