My errors. That land area is 700 km2 and the population density is 8
km-2. Thanks to Patrick Moore for calling my typos to my attention.

Middle Tennessee is like that, Paul. I think what we're really talking
about rural versus urban. My county (Van Buren) boasts a population of
about 5500 people in a land area of roughly 700 km3, giving it a
population density of only 8 km-1. There is only one city (1700 people),
which sits atop Rumbling Cave. The county boasts the tallest water fall
east of the Rockies and just across the border is Cumberland Caverns. I
guess you could say we have a lot of vertical development here! Grin.

Because of its proximity to Canada, Maine actively uses both metric
and non-metric units on its highway signs. 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.
