It’s a beautiful State. Acadia National Park is very nice for a non-wilderness scenic experience. But if you don’t like mosquitoes and you’re there in the summer don’t go in the woods! They swarm like hungry piranhas and aren’t all that much smaller. That is at least what I remember from a family vacation there many moons ago. A week’s camping on South Padre cooking fresh caught Gulf shrimp in a wok on an open fire, drinking Lone Star tall boys, is a more pleasant memory.

Don’t ever visit Maine, especially Northern Maine until after the first freeze of the year otherwise the black flies will eat you for lunch. They look like gnats but chew huge holes in your skin to get to your blood. Horrid creatures. Spent six and a half years there; by September every pillow in the house smelled like Ben’s 100 (100% DEET), the only thing that will keep black flies at bay.
