Hello from the other Portland... Maine

[7hsulpg]

Hey everyone. My name is Greg and I am from the great state of Maine. I'm currently a resident in Portland. Just started planning a train hopping excursion cross country with some friends and decided this was a good place to start gathering information. I'm looking to relocate somewhere on the west coast but it is up in the air where my exact destination will be. Anyone live in/squatted in/been to Maine? Love to hear from you guys. Take care.

:crew: :mummy:

My family used to being me to Sebago Lake every summer when I was younger. Seems good. Also have been up there to visit some friends who went to Unity college.

I'm from CT, I know Maine a lil bit. I've vacationed in Freeport with my family a long time ago. We went to Sabago lake. and a few years ago I spent a few weeks in Rockport, Me withj my ex girlfriend and her family. When abouts do you plan on leaving for your trip, cuase I'm lookin for a crew to join so I can travel cross country to be on the west coast by march.

 

[7hsulpg]

Unfortunately the way it looks now we are going to be leaving in the late summer so we'll probably miss your window if you want to get out there by march. Where out west are you looking to relocate?

Howdy Greg,

I've never been to Maine but that'll soon change...my partner and I are coming up this weekend for the Maine Primitive Gathering just south of you in Wells. welcome to STP

 

[wildboy860]

not sure if you'd call it relocating, but I have a friends wedding to attend and do fire performance 4 in Arizona. then I'm headed 2 cali. I'm not sure where I'm relocating but it is all part of the many reasons why I'm traveling & such,

 

[stove]

I'll be Heading up that way this week! Drop me a line if you're bored and/or what someone to hang with for a bit. I'll be in Wells this weekend, then Portland en route North.

Oh that note, anybody know of a good train to get me north towards Nova Scotia? PMed info would be helpful (I know there's track as far as Bangor/Augusta area).

 

[hassysmacker]

I'm going to be doing things the same way as portland, except i'll be there for 3-4 days and then headinh south.

 

[stove]

hassy, loess, see you at the gathering. i am already in wells.

 

[7hsulpg]
