But the best reason to visit Maine is Maine itself. If you really want to "get away from it all," get a camp on Grand Lake, which is an international body of water and, take it from this long-time Mainer, it is one of the most peaceful, soothing places to be. Much of Maine is not a tourist trap. It's just plain quiet. The people of Maine are some of the finest people on Earth. I visited my old haunt of Aroostook County earlier this month, and was delighted to find it virtually unchanged from 30 years ago. It's a bear in the winter, but paradise in the summer. Yes, I know this sounds like I work for their tourism department, but I don't. This is personal, to my listserver friends. Maie is the only state whose name consists of one syllable. We keep it simple. Paul
