Seventeen years ago I retired from a 33-year career with the Internal Revenue Service. My immediate plan was to travel and experience as many outdoor adventures as possible while I was still young and fit enough to enjoy them. In addition to traveling while embracing the outdoors, I had the nebulous idea that I’d like to try writing professionally. “Maine Al Fresco: The Fifty Finest Outdoor Adventures in Maine” is the culmination of my original retirement goal. I was a youthful senior then. Now, at 74, I’m an old man and time is short. ~ Ron Chase
