Ahhhh yes the Great State of Maine!

When I lived in Syracuse, I went there every year! Now that I live in Ohio its quite a bit further and don't there that often!

You can't beat Lobster boiled at the campsite over a wood fire with drawn better on the side. Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island, MDI Campground, Bar Harbor, Bass Harbor and great down home Maine Folks!

I do love Maine!

Best breakfast I ever had in my life was a Rainbow Trout pulled out of lake Coniston and was in the frying pan over an open fire within 3 mins of it coming out of the lake.

I live about an hour East of Ellsworth which is the gateway to Mount Desert Island (Bar Harbor;Acadia Natl Park ,et al). The previous is located in Hancock county........we have a saying here "The real Maine starts East of Hancock county. About an hour or so from Canadian border and the Roosevelt retreat of Campobello Island. We have another saying here "It's Gods country"..life is laid back and country living at it's best :-)

PS: Plenty of Lobsters,scallops,clams,fish, and blueberries......also lots of freindly people.

Earl,

You lucky puppy! About an hour east of Ellsworth, that is awesome!

I've been to Mathias further east from Ellsworth a couple times and all the way to Eastport once. In fact once we crossed into New Brunswick using Rt-1 somewhere near Eastport. I've been close to Campobello Is, but never there.

There is another cool drive but you need a Jeep or a truck. We took our '96 Cherokee and drove the 52 mile road through Baxter State Park. Checked in at the south ranger station and went all the way through. Took about 4+ hours with a lot of bumps. But the drive was well worth it. Virgin timber and just beautiful country!
