On our recent trip to eastern Canada
we spent two days on the Maine
Jonesport
Lubec
Machias
(also Campobello Island , NB
about the size of Ireland
but with one quarter of its population.
Renowned for its scenic rugged coast,
low mountains and forested interior,
for more than a century.
6000 lakes and ponds
32,000 miles of rivers and streams
17 million acres of forest
3,478 miles of coastline
65 lighthouses
2000 islands
Two thousand islands!
I plan to devote the next several blog posts
to this beautiful state.

Nothing like a map to whet the geographers appetite! Looking forward to the promised posts on the Maine Coast. I didn't know the Appalachians came so far north - did you stick to the coast?
ReplyDeleteYes, Philip, we stuck to the coast (though we used the interstate as an access route). I am very much an oceanside guy. As a child I lived 8 years in northern Maine, in the "potato belt". The Appalachians actually continue into Canada. Mt. Katahdin is Maine's highest mountain (over 5,000 ft.)
