Along the coast. I heard Keith say that as well. You post made me ponder how I ended up here. I moved from Jersey to Maine in 98...so I am "from away." I go to to visit grandchildren down there now and again. The ride is horrible (getting worse as I age), the summer is HUMID and there are simply too many people. The further south you go...the traffic gets worse. Folks are just always in a hurry. They drive like they just robbed the local bank.
Maine gave me the simplicity and slower pace I craved. Yep, I am bummed when I look outside. With the way things are going down the toilet with Trump and gang, we toyed with perhaps Canada as an option....maybe? Then I think of their winters up there. Looks like I will stick with Tim Janis playing softly, a good book, hot tea and very warm socks till May.
Hang in there and keep this thought...there is no better place to be than in Maine in the "summah".
