Going to the Phish concert this weekend?

I was in Maine all week and when I was talking with some of the locals in your neck of the woods, they told me about the traffic jams on the highways. Unbelievable. I drove 85 mph all the way to Houlton and saw very fews cars on the road with me. I can't imagine traffic being so backed up. The paper said 80 miles? Wow.

Went up through Presque Isle and ended up in Fort Kent. What a beautiful drive and part of the country that is. At one point I got out of my car and couldn't believe the silence. Very relaxing and soothing. You don't realize all the noise that us city dwellers live with each day until you visit the remote areas of Maine.

Some people that I was talking with got me paranoid about driving at night because of all the moose. I didn't realize so many people get killed from hitting them on the roads. It's a whole different way of life up there. So different than the coastal areas and even Bangor.

I guess as I write this the people are probably starting to flock in. Probably started last night I guess. Good luck!
