Cool story and that's a cool area.
I spent a few days with the Pingree's after I shot my bear in the Sturgeon unit.
Fantastic people who live in one of the wildest, untouched places I've ever been.
Pretty remarkable and I enjoyed spending some time at the lodge and with their family.
Have to say the Pingrees are classy folks... Between dropping off crabs and watching out for us they proved their generosity... the rest is just pure, down to Earth, good.
I am assembling a small package for them that required a little wait for things to arrive... I suspect they will be surprised as they undoubtedly think they "did nothing."
