Expertise Exploring Maine is my passion. Areas of special interest include most topics. Here are a few; natural history, ecology, outdoor activities, art, cultural heritage, travel, local people, traditions, events, food, craftsmen, tourism, Maine history,and folklore are to name a few. My experience in the Camden area is limited, and I have not climbed Mt. Katahdin, but I have spent time in Baxter State Park.
Experience I am a 'Native' of Maine, born and bred in the southern part of the state. I also lived in Aroostook County, simply known to Mainers as 'The County'. My family has traveled throughout the state for many years, exploring a variety of interests; from camping, hiking, and skiing, to blueberry pickin', attending County Fairs and Festivals, and exploring our beautiful islands. We have raised our three sons here, and continue to make new discoveries as the years and seasons continue to unfold.
