[Paddlewise] Gregarious? Solo/Wilderness?

Hello All--
Well, thought this was a good thread with which to
break my lurker-ness! I've been following for a few
months, enjoy PaddleWise immensely.

I'm an enthusiastic gregarious person in 'real
life'--one of the things I love about being on the
water and in the wilderness is connecting with my
quieter self. Letting Nature do most of the talking.

One startling moment after spending a month in Baja on
my NOLS course (November 99)--watching the pasta boil
on my gas range at home and wondering if there was
enough fuel left. Also, deciding if I had enough fresh
water (while standing in front of my own sink) to
brush my teeth, or whether to walk back to the ocean.
:)

I'm planning to spend several weeks on the Maine
Island Trail this summer--anyone have stories to share
or interested in talking about a trip?

Regards, Claire
