It’s true what they say … you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.
Raised near Portland, Maine, I’m a true Mainer, ayuh… but six years ago, I made the move out west in search of bigger mountains for skiing, snowboarding and mountain biking. True, I loved skiing at the Rivah (Sunday River, that is) and I’m a Loafer at heart .. and I’m a New England Patriots fan to the core…
Sure, I miss the ocean – most notably, I miss my Maine Lobster rolls, and my favorite food in the world, the lobster quesadilla at Sebago Brewing company. Luckily, my mom still lives in Maine, so I have an excuse to go back to visit often! Maybe one day I’ll buy a vacation home in Maine on the ocean.
One thing I loved about living in Maine I can say without a doubt – was the variety of things to do in the Maine woods, on a lake or by the ocean, whether you stepped out your back door or drove up north to “The Forks” for redneck wilderness fun (ATVing, Snowmobiling, Hunting & Fishing, more) – Maine truly had anything you could think of to do in the great outdoors.
And I can say that now that I don’t live there, I have a better appreciation for the natural beauty that is Maine, and every time I go back, I find something new to experience.
So what better way to celebrate the outdoors in Maine, than to start this site? Enjoy!
