1 week ago | q1065.fm | Cindy Campbell

This campground in Maine has serious devotees who love its rustic charm and access to at least seven beaches. I grew up going camping, in a small pop-up that my family of five took across the country when I was twelve. We stayed in family campgrounds, usually KOAs, where we knew there would be clean bathrooms and a camp store. Camping is in my blood. Other than California vacation, however, our shorter excursions were rarely planned. We'd decide we wanted to get away, and we'd go.

1 week ago | q1065.fm | Arlen Jameson |JR Mitchell |Cindy Campbell |Jordan Verge

Is there anywhere in Maine that you wouldn't go to because it is too “touristy” (Yes, it is a word, I checked)Warm weather is coming, which got me to thinking about how much I love Bar Harbor, and Old Orchard Beach, but maybe I don’t enjoy both of those spots as much as I should, because each time I go, there seems to be a ton of traffic and out of state visitors. This year should be particularly interesting, due to the recent chilly relations between the United States and Canada.
