The much anticipated moose lottery drawing took place in Rangley this year. Our phone began ringing right off with rumors of who had been drawn and for which season and what zone. The first good news came from our friend Kevin who was in attendance at the drawing and called my sister to say her son's fiance Megan had been drawn. Moments later my sister Skyped me to give me the good news my mother had been drawn too. Later Darlene called to say someone on Facebook said Leitha (Wade's mom) has been drawn as well. Eventually the list was posted on the web and we verified it was all true. Three moose hunts in the family and quite a few friends like Arlo and Lorraine. The evening was spend between phone calls and skyping to talk over preliminary plans.Wade stayed close to the phone today to be available to book guided hunts and we were fortunate to book several hunts and we are hoping for more.
We went muskie fishing this evening and as we came up over the bank on the Allagash, we saw Leitha, Tylor and Darlene all working on caning a seat for the canoe Tylor is restoring. It's a big home made square stern, like a grand laker type. He replaced the gunnels and thwarts and patched 2 holes and is now replacing the seats.
