Hey Dan T ...whenever you need info on the north Maine woods let me know. It is a VERY rough travel area... crazy rough roads, flooded out areas massive logging trucks doing 60 mph with loads twice what's legal on a real road. It is your responsibility to get out of the way as they DO NOT even slow down... that means going off the road!! Gotta have the right radio (CB's are fair but not safe) ... to know whats coming round the bend and to announce where you are. Again I can't express how 'rough' the roads are.... no gas no buildings for a 100 miles... did I mention the bugs? The mosquito is the State bird of Maine. then there are black flies and the real menace... the no-seeum. It can fly through regular screen... and it does by the thousands if allowed. The bite is mean. So I know it all sounds negative but having been going there for 40 years it is a place that requires a lot of prep and if you have been to Labrador or Alaska during the bug season then you know. Once one knows the ins and outs ... it allows you to know when to not be where, and you can enjoy the wild. All that said I like the Blue Ridge Parkway for a rally... cushy camping and beauty all around. Maybe someday the Adirondacks in NY.
