Great thread everyone - so interesting to hear everyone's thoughts.

Hey Frank65 - you are down south in the "densely populated" part of the state. I agree - it will take dynamite to get me out. I plan to stay - forever - ashes in to the cove and the garden - tomatoes need calcium right? ;-/

I have a cell phone for communication - Maine's land line phone company "Fairpoint" leaves a lot to be desired and they are in bankruptcy. Satellite for Internet. No cable, or over the air TV here anymore since the digital switch over. Might be nice for people in the larger towns where the population centers are - but not much to offer rural people in valleys. I would need a 60 ft antenna (according to the FCC - )

Greenhouse-gal - VERY NICE greenhouse! Enjoy. I have a hoop house that had a hard winter, but survived.... harvested enough lettuce for a salad last night - yes from an unheated greenhouse in down east Maine! It can be done!

Picture taken down by the cove this afternoon.... Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor in the distance, 5 miles by water, 32 miles by road.
