We heard from Nick once on our vacation. It was on Tuesday or Wednesday, he had reached Maine. The wheels they use for the portages broke so they hid the canoe and walked into a town to get them fixed. I haven't heard from him since so hopefully they got fixed. He is ending up way up in Maine so he had alittle ways to go still. He is hoping to get there Friday night on July 30. It is a ten hour drive for us so we will leave Friday after Bryan gets out of work and drive for quite a while so we can pick him up Saturday morning. He said most of the time they have had a good weather. If I hear from Nick this week I will write again otherwise I'm sure Nick will write when he gets home. Hope everyone's summer is adventurous as Nick's is
