Maine is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States of America. It is the northernmost portion of both New England and the eastern United States. The state is known for its scenery — its jagged, mostly rocky coastline, its low, rolling mountains, and its heavily forested interior — as well as for its seafood cuisine, especially lobsters and clams.

More than 60 lighthouses dot the coastline,including the West Quoddy Head...the easternmost lighthouse in the United States.

There are two theories for the origin of the name "Maine." One has it that the name is in some way connected to the older Province of Maine in France. Another theory is that seafarers of Colonial time referred to the land mass as "the main" in distinction to the many islands found along the coast.

Acadia National Park
posted by:
Feb 03, 2008 - Apr 05, 2008
Despite the brisk competition from other wonderlands in Maine, Acadia wins the top spot for natural beauty in my heart.  There is something special about mountains on the ocean.  Even if the mountains are relative midgets (Cadillac Mountain is the highest point here at 1,530 feet - still the highest on the East Coast of the US).   Cadillac Mountain is a good place to begin out tour of Acadia National Park as there is a road to the summit and most visitors drive up ...

In a nutshell...

What a Great experience! I guess what I want to say most of all is thank you to Phish and Co., the state of Maine and all the wonderful folks between our I95 exit and the entrance to paradise. I could have never imagined such a fine welcome. I rolled through the towns around 8:00pm Friday and all along the way were locals out on the streets waving and honking. It was quite a special feeling. For me, it set the tone for the whole weekend. It turned out to be the one of the best weekends of my ...

Falling From 14,000 Feet

Jul 23, 2006 - Sep 04, 2007
July 8th, 2007: I finally did it.  I jumped from a moving airplane at 14,000 feet.  Yes, I skydived!  On June 26th, my friend, Shannon, bartered for free gift certificates for two people at Skydive New England.  She chose me to go with her, and I couldn't refuse (even though I was a little hesitant to do it).  Normally it would cost about $190 to jump, plus $125 for the video and roll of film.  So we were each saving $190.  Great deal! We had been planni...

The Madness of Portland, Maine - And More!
posted by:
Oct 13, 2007
Nothing like New England in the autumn!  Hailing from the West Coast, I decided that fall was the best time to go because on the West Coast there are two seasons;  warm and  chilly.  So I was excited to see a real fall, who wouldn’t be?   Chip has been really great at helping me see the states within the East Coast region as he is from New York City, born and bred, so he is very familiar with the New England Area.  Sometimes more than he would like to admit.&...
