George's Maine River Badge Drop

Ninety-two miles of Allagash Wilderness Waterway, Chase Rapids below Churchill Dam, Thoreau's ghost camped on Pillsbury Island in Eagle Lake. Maine doesn't do easy. The state says plan carefully, carry a first-aid kit, expect spotty cell coverage, and build in extra days for weather. Then Maine DEP's rule between waters: clean off mud, plants and animals, drain everything away from the water, dry five days in the sun. Eight pieces in the Maine drop: unisex tee, women's relaxed tee, youth tee, muscle tank, garment-dye crop tee, full-color two-tone cap, golf rope cap, and five-panel rope cap. Paddle On. Only You Can Keep The Rivers Clean. — George
