Bruce - what do you do in Baxter?

We have spent a lot of time in Baxter. We have stayed in cabins at Daicey Pond for as long as two weeks in the old days. Is the water still crystal clear in Daicey Pond?

Best wishes!

So if you post during normal business hours? Are you stealing from the people of Maine?

So did you rescue the rock or train it? I would think that for most rocks, the command "Stay" would come pretty naturally. It is also obvious that you trained the last rock pictured to "Roll Over".


I have nothing clever to put here.

That’s great Bruce! One of my favorite states.

Keep up the good work.


Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

Gordon Ramsey, maybe…

Nah. It’s outreach. Letting people know about how great Maine is.

Stay away from my spots though Vinke.

Solid training but pictures of some dude strapped to a litter would have been more appropriate given what you wrote. I wondered how you trained rocks. I wondered even more why you would rescue them. Thanks for clearing that up.

Just posted some scenery pictures I saw, as I felt I should not be posting pictures of others on a training mission.
