Maine is also the only U.S. state with a one-syllable name.

 

Somewhere on my bucket list is the idea of driving around the entire perimeter of Maine, but people have told me that this isn't possible on the western side.  Unless there are impassable mountains or nothing but potato farms with no need for roads, I'm stumped as to why.

Because on the Western side, there are no roads, spaces for roads, or even things like trails and whatnot.

 

There are trees. And undergrowth. And Meese. And Bears.

 

Maine is also the only state in the U.S. with a land border ton only one other U.S. state - New Hampshire.

Care to explain?

1.  Want to start at Kittery & drive up seacoast north to Caribou at least, and Fort Kent optimally.*

 

2.  Boring to go back same direction.  Want to see "all" of Maine if going in the first place.  If not possible, then drive back down central parts.

 

*I wonder how long that would take without stopping.

Seems really rustic.  Why hasn't somebody developed the state by now?

 

Edited to add:  Just looked at a map.  A bunch of "private roads" out there.  Who owns them?  What permission is necessary to drive on them?

I recently found a bright-yellow bumper sticker, from the N.H. Fish & Game Department:

BRAKE FOR MEESE -- It Could Save Your Life

And it looks like a couple of towns in Maine are accessible only from N.H.  Somebody needs to do something about Maine.

Got me to thinking about driving the perimeter of Texas.  

Then I realized I have a short attention span and if it takes more than a day I'll just skip it.

Doesn’t skipping take longer than driving?  🤔

skipping

A blonde became terribly overweight, so her doctor put her on a diet.  "I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks.  The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least 5 pounds."

 

When the blonde returned, she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 20 pounds.  "Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said.  "Did you follow my instructions?"

 

The blonde nodded.  "I'll tell you, though -- I thought I was going to drop dead that third day."

 

"From hunger, you mean?" asked the doctor.

 

"No -- from skipping everywhere."

It's been an unusually cold winter here.  Several days where it was in the mid 40's early am and didn't even break out of the 60's all day.

 

How does one get warmed up in horrible weather like that?
