But I haven't seen that much of it Al. I've only been living in Maine for 12 years(I can do the accent in print). Frankly, outside of heading far inland occasionally for skiiing and snowboarding or kids athletic events(Bangor for sons hockey), I've hardly scratched the surface of inland maine.

I don't think Maines cities are her finest parts(I'll probably catch hell for that). Urban sprawl seems well routed around them like most other urban areas.

Driving through Maine enroute to Quebec city a few years ago, it's enormous country. Like a whole country. I look forward to exploring more of it in the future.

Maybe someone else will have more experience.
