Dude, I love transporters, and have more than a few stories to tell of adventures in them (tho not on a public forum LMFAO) so we're definitely fam

I lived in So. Berwick for nearly 15 yrs (read: divorce)
Ha! This is getting more interesting, I hear you on the NSFW stories :). The Berwicks, Eliot, and Kittery were ripe back when I was just out of school, lots of places to get into trouble and to hid from trouble :). My better half was from Elliot and we pass right through Sanford when we go down to visit family still in the area.
I was wrong about relatives, I do have an uncle with the same last name that I haven't seen in years who lives in that big housing complex off 236. Small world :)
My stories take place in VA/WV/MD/PA/DC (I'm a transplant from VA by way of CO nearly 20yrs ago)

Enjoy! I’m sure you probably are already familiar with KI-Jo Mary, but it was new to me. I really enjoyed the dispersed sites they have.

Didn't realize there was a Maine thread. I'm living in Biddeford, for now. I'm ready to retire and travel. Building up my 2020 Ranger to live out of come the end of tourist season. Looking to get a cargo trailer to convert at some point. Selling the Condo and become a nomad. With this crazy seller's market, time to take advantage. Of course, its pricing the locals into homelessness.

Sounds like a good plan, unfortunately this hit 7 years before I can retire

Hello,

I did my second one nighter trip in the past month or so up to the maine north woods this past weekend. this time I was riding on 245/70/17 toyo open countrys vs the 275/40/20 suv rated tires I drove
up on the first time. so much better and way less stetchy...the golden road eats tires and breaks stuff.

I use to spend my outdoors time in the NH whites but there are too many people on the hiking trails post covid so deeper into the maine north woods I go. I am hoping to find other remote maine spots
to winter camp in. I started winter hot tent camping last season and I am hooked. one trip last season I did two nights solo in a tent at sebago with -7 the second morning, wicked fun!
