I've been up through Baxter State Park years ago as well as the whites over in the western side of Maine. That was fun. One of the nice things about the state park was you could rent canoes for free . So I did that a couple times and just canoed around some ponds and lakes.
I didn't stay in Maine I had actually shot through to get to Canada so it was only there for a night.
It is a beautiful state, four seasons of fun. But like I said, the coast is a virtual no-go zone for me in the summer ... I head for the lakes and mountains to escape the madness.
Makes sense. I needed I-95 to get north. You have land in the backcountry?
Just my cabin in the mountains, on a small ½ac lot bordered by a pond a stream on the back of the lot, overlooking a 3714' mountain (one of the tallest in that area).
I've got 180ac of heavily forested land in southern Maine that I purchased about 20 years ago and have been thinking about developing, great location 10 minutes from town with Walmart, Home Depot and Lowes + much more, 30 minutes from PWM jetport. I may develop it just to have something exciting to do as I inevitably fade into the sunset. There could be 10-15 years of activity and collecting big fat checks every so often if I go that route. The idea intrigues me, I've been on hiatus way too long.
My mom's side of the family has about 2500ac last I knew in central Maine. Incredible hunting and fishing there with a low population density.
