i ran into some maine game wardens having lunch on egg point island. they were heading upriver in a large motorised canoe. we chatted a bit, i wasnt wearing a pfd at the time and they asked if i had one. i have rarely seen any wardens on the upper st. croix, and i have run that stretch too many times to count. i have run into some of the people that maintain the sites a few times, they usually have some good stories to tell.

I've heard some pretty interesting stories. Someone I know got charged with "Operating a watercraft under the influence." In a canoe! Just starting on the river and opened a can of beer. Confused as to how they can steal someone away from the water and get away with it. Kind of scary, when you're just getting out and enjoying the water, what a way to ruin the whole trip!

Luke and I checked in at the American boarder asking if we could maybe camp on there side? He never did say yes or no but took a copy of our drivers license and sent us away. We never did camp on there side but a high speed light chopper did buzz us on the second day, but I could not really tell if it was American or Canadian but I feel it Was American. No problems other wise, And I can't say we where high and dry either!!!

Was on the St. Croix on the NB day weekend, Saturday night we camped at American cove. Sunday a few were out fishing and the wardens show up. They must have put in at one of the cottages on Mud Lake. First time having seen them that far up the river. They were giving one of the guys a hard time about fishing close to the American shore!! And warned us about not going into the American only bays, such jack asses!!! I have seen them on the Flowage before. Al
