If you love our Allagash Wilderness Waterway--maybe you've canoed it or maybe you'd like to someday--then you won't want to miss tonight's showing of "Northrunner" at this month's meeting of MOAC--the Maine Outdoor Adventure Club.

Per Jim Crocker, communications director for the Maine Department of Conservation, on Northrunner – The Allagash Wilderness Waterway:

“The Allagash Wilderness Waterway is a special place, not just to those of us who live in Maine, but to canoeists and outdoors lovers everywhere,” said Executive Producer Patrick K. McGowan, Commissioner of the DOC. “We wanted to capture the history of the place, and the affection for the Allagash that shows in the faces of those who live and recreate on the Waterway.”

The 52-minute film features breathtaking video of the Waterway, and interviews with those who know the Allagash best – residents of northern Maine. Sporting camp operator Phyllis Jalbert, retired teacher and lifelong St. John Valley resident Melford Pelletier tell their stories of the Waterway, as do State Senator John Martin and Fort Kent high school student Chace Jackson. “This film captures the true spirit of the Allagash,” said Ursus Productions’ Andy Collar.

Sounds like we're in for a fun and most entertaining evening. Come on along!

MOAC meetings start at 7PM, and are free and open to the public.

See you there...
