The cover of the July/August AMC Outdoors has a photo of a Maine Guide in a canoe. The person isn't identified but that looks like our Ferryman, Steve Longley, from the Forks, Maine.

Yes, the photogragher, Ben Magro, caught me at the Kennebec River in my Sunday best back around 2000. Have been a Maine River Guide since 1979 and have brought over 12,000 folks whitewater rafting on the Kennebec, Dead and West Branch of the Penobscot Rivers with my company "Rolling Thunder", that opened in 1982. We started taking hikers across the Kennebec River Ferry Service in 1987 and will surpass the 16,000 hiker mark in less than two weeks. I am fortunate to live in a remote corner of Maine and have a job I love going to everyday for 150+ days. The AMC cover shot, well, all I can say is that it brought a smile to my mother's face. And for that, I am entirely grateful. Yours at the Kennebec Crossing, Steve 'ferryman' Longley
