in the state of Maine. Their wool comes
from domestic sheep and other fibers come from earth friendly suppliers. You will find that Quince & Co 100% wool
is a living fiber, beautiful, practical, sustainable, and affordable. Find them

All I can say is WOW on your son's hike and all the traveling he has done. Great he is doing this now when he is so young and healthy.
Loved hearing from Pete in episode 116! I hope he's able to settle in soon in The Rose City; Portland really is a gem. (I'm 200 miles East in Pendleton.)
