“Again, alone in my tent, just after retiring, I began to hear low growling, almost like the purring of large house cats. First, I thought of small domestic cats and almost immediately I envisioned CATS! My awareness of large predators that close elicited a primal fear. I picked up my flashlight and pointed it towards the origin of the sound. All I could see was a bulge where the lions appeared to be lying against my tent. I tried not to move, though I was sure my heart was beating so hard and fast that it could be heard by the animals. Should I blow my whistle for help or just stay motionless hoping that the cats would get up and leave?”

Their experiences of adventure, enlightenment and respect for animals are shared in a number of tales and stories with accompanying photographs taken during their travels. Although the sisters travel four to six months a year and enjoy the experience of meeting new people and observing other cultures and wildlife, the appreciation for the state of Maine always draws them home and to the animals that share the magic and splendor of the region.
