Regarding the request for transportation from Maine:
Posting #37 by MS.BEHAVIN on the following thread said that a bus from Maine had been chartered;no specific town is indicated. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-vetscor/1791593/posts?page=49#49
ALSO: On the Gatheringofeagles.org website,state forum for Maine, there are several possible rides, as well as a group rate on AMTRAK from Boston (with transport from Portsmouth NH--this is under the Maine section.)
On that forum there is an indication that the PG from Maine has chartered a bus. Again no town indicated and no email but the PG website may have the state contact info.
Perhaps MS.BEHAVIN could provide a bit more info.
Sorry I missed your ping yesterday, but it was a hectic day!
