Have you ever thought about the risk you are taking when you head out the door for your adventure? I have worked and lived on the West Branch of the Penobscot River since 2014. I never thought that this special place that has given me so much could also take something from me. In the past six years, I’ve lost two people I know to the river and both accidents have hit very close to home. I love hiking solo and I know that it comes with added risk. If something happens to me, I am responsible for myself. That’s intimidating. I have to be OK with that. ~ Sarah Sindo
