LGJhn23!
Thank you for the confirmation! That’s what it looked like to me. Gravel pit & logging! (Spent time in Northern Wisc.)
If you were trying to hide Chinese soldiers do it in the open on the west coast. (Of course if in civilian clothing they would all be technically spies, non?)

Yep. They’d blend in a whole lot better there than they would in a sparsely populated area that is pretty much all white, tightly knit and has a certain voice accent/dialect that is only unique to that area.
What did kinda bother me though, was the article I saw where the Canadian govt was training these jerks for cold weather warfare. IF they had 50K of em “in training” say in New Brunswick and they decided to pull off some kind of blitzkrieg attack, they’d have to come across thru Houlton, ME rather than Calais. Reason is that Houlton has interstate 95 ending right there, and it’s all good, wide, level road all the way straight thru Maine and then some. There wouldn’t be much in the line of a military ground response to stop em for quite awhile, other than maybe a massive civilian response. Airpower would have to rule.
To get from the border crossing at Calais to anywhere else in the country is about 100 miles of hilly/curvy 2-lane road (Rte 9) before getting to an interstate highway outside of Bangor/Brewer. Rte.1 is even worse. It would slow military vehicles down way too much for a blitzkrieg attack.
Man, those yankee, eastern-side Mainers would go totally nuts: it would like hunting season with no bag limit.
