I have lived in Maine on and off since 1962. The demographics have changed with the influx of people from outside Maine.
I knew Maine
when it was still rural. The people were
pragmatic, and the vast wilderness was still virgin.
Now the
Maine wilderness is cut up with snowmobile trails, and roads into once-remote,
pristine lakes and rivers. The new scourge
of ticks makes the woods less accessible.
But this is
the new world we live in.
Maine is
still a beautiful state, and if you move away from the coast into the interior,
there are still homes that are reasonably priced, and communities where people
still care about their neighbors.
