The 2007 Hunting season was great! Check out all the game taken by clicking on Hunting and then click on either Bear or Moose.
Ed, Marion and Nick will be spending their spring putting the lodge back in order after the flood that effected much of the St. John Valley and those who live and work along the chain of lakes including Eagle Lake and Soldier Pond. The first picture is of Nick standing knee deep in water in front of the walk in freezers. The next is the store in downtown Soldier Pond - the sign on the porch reads "canoe and kayak sale - Closed for Remodeling." It encompasses the humor and spirit of Maine, doesn't it! The last picture is of the international bridge between Fort Kent and Canada crossing over the St. John River. The river reached within 3 inches of the dikes surrounding it, cresting at almost 31 feet.
No worries though! The Lodge is fully functioning and READY FOR SUMMER RENTALS. The water reached as high as the pond and flooded Ed and Marion's cabin all the others remained dry.

A bear taken by Ray during the 2006 season here at the Lodge! A note from Ray said "Carl and I had your son Dustin as a guide and he was very polite and really wanted to help the hunters...Dustin also worked very hard on getting the bear out of the woods at night (with the help of Jason). I was tired just following the two of them out of the woods with them running with the bears on a "stretcher"...Ed, I am really glad you guys tried to teach me on how to size bear in the woods. I am very grateful for your camp and I WILL be back."
This moose was shot with the hand gun in the picture on a fully guided moose hunt during the 2006 season!
This is John with a bear he shot the second week of Bear Season 2006.
