Alabama/Maine: No comparison to the beauty wherever you travel within the state of Maine. You don't ski and get to old to take the winter temps then you go south for the winter. Not me..Beautiful change of seasons. You ski..it's awesome. The magnificent beauty of the rock bound coast of Maine, treking up into the mountains for the day, secluded lakes for canoeing or fishing, quiet tucked away beaches dotting the coastline or sitting high atop a ledge looking out at the horizon..am I in love? Yes..with Maine. It can't be compared to any other state. Would stay and fight before I 'get out' as you say..with my tail between my legs. Even those Mainers on here who are disgusted with laws such as the body of the commentary, I 'believe' love Maine as much as I do. Alabama...I don't think so!! ;)
