"Went out playing today. Does this count as a water crossing?

Don’t know if you’re talking New Brunswick or Maine or both but... as far as N. B. I went straight up to the Moncton area around Hillsbough. Travelled several local and back woods roads in the area as we went hunting Off the area of 110. can’t help to much as I had “ local” quides and most...

PSA for the day! LOVE BUGS! Saw this on the internet (go figure) and thought I’d try it. It works! Wet the bugs (windshield, painted surfaces) Let sit of about 5 min.s. Wet down dryer sheet and wipe off. That easy! Dryer sheet will leave a soap like film that can just be wiped/washed off.
