Quiet Places

Quiet places are all around us. The key is to sit still long enough to notice! Getting off the beaten path is the best way I know of to actually find peace. No matter where you live, there are natural niches and treasures just waiting to be stumbled upon. Why not take a minute in your busy day or weekend to stop long enough to actually hear the fish jump in a nearby pond. Let me ask you, when was the last time you noticed the glimmer of light as the sun filtered through dew on a well shaped spiders web? Life moves so quickly these days, it is hard not to get swept away in the tide of duties of the 90's. Unfortunately it is in the rushing of minutes that the most precious and simple joys of living slip away! Hints for Escape

In my oppinion, you can't beat an Old Town Canoe . That is mine in the picture above!

For any questions regarding fishing visit my friend Mark's site listed above under Quabbin Reservoir!

I really enjoy being on the water. There it is easy to find solitude. Fishing is fun, so is just floating around looking at the clouds, or the stars. Best shared with a friend, moments in the canoe are priceless. My little dog Scruffy loves to come along!

If canoeing is to quiet for your tastes... here is another type of water excitement!

White Water

If you dare!

Through the years I have rafted on the Deerfield River in Massachusetts, and also on the Penobscott River in Maine. I reccomend the experience to anyone . It is strenuous, but well worth the effort for the scenery alone! Both times I have come away with a feeling of reward, and accomplishment.

The guides I have used were friendly, and trustworthy. Down East WhiteWater in Maine was the greatest!
