Oh Bonnie, it sounds wonderful!

MAINE: I can walk to the top of the ridge and view mount Katahdin. Look
from my rocking chair on my porch and view Bagley Mountain. I can walk to
the back of my property of 24 acres and sit at a picnic table my husband
made and watch the wildlife that live there or go kayaking up or down the
stream which is absolutely gorgeous with low hanging branches and banks cut
out by the waters when they are high. We can ride our 4 wheelers on our
road which has been designated for atv vehicles too. Which can take us to
many trails that have been made. Many lakes in our area we can swim in,
fish in and go boating. The sky at night is soo beautiful when the stars
are shining. So many recreational opportunities. I do very little now. A
little gardening do 4 wheeling love that and walk. We do have mosquitoes
black flies check wings horse flies and house flies. Weather can change at
any moment. Couldn't imagine living any where's else. Bonnie from Maine.
