This often overlooked state sits in the utmost northeastern corner of the U.S. and  offers a stunning seacoast, beautiful mountains, large and small lakes, roaring rivers and charming towns and is often hailed as having a wonderful quality of life.  Maine falls are beyond spectacular, while winters can be formidable and summers humid but not too hot.   Visitors will find a New England reticence among the natives here (not to mention a wonderful accent).   These down-to-earth, hearty people mix with tourists and vacationers up and down the rocky coast.    Inland Maine offers rural landscapes, old farmhouses, meandering moose and small towns where families can raise children in a safe, affordable, outdoor-oriented state. 

Come to Maine.  Ahyuh, you can get there from here.
