Oh I have plans to get up there one day. My husband and a buddy rode their motorcycles up there years ago (before we were married). His cousin lives in Vermont too. Also, an old friend of mine has a brother who owns a kayaking business up in Maine. She always told me if I go up there to look him up; I'd have to check with her though about the name of the business. I know his last name is Murton.
We love our state. An old military buddy from forty years ago, who spent most of his life on the east coast came to visit a couple weeks ago, had never been further than Massachusetts either. He left, nearly in a state of shock and wonder at the scenery.
It looks more populated than it is because houses line most of the roads, but one does not see their back yards may go for miles of woods.
