Ah the joys of living in Maine... especially during the long long winter months. While working for a living and having a cabin in the woods, I truly enjoyed the time. Weekends that is. Put the morning wood on the fire (keep it clean), don all the clothes, and head out on the skis/snowshoes. Then back to the cabin and enjoy a nice beer while soaking in the hot tub and watch the snow fall. Ok During the 20 years my wife and I lived in the cabin we did that maybe a hand full of times. But still the picture was in our mind. Upon retirement we discovered that the whole late fall through late spring was NOT in our best interest. So after 62 years of living the good life in Maine we decided to move to North Central Florida and enjoy the GOOD live for as long as we are above ground. I find I'm much happier shoveling sunshine than snow.

That said when the leaves pop out and the black flies die down we'll have the RV packed for our annual pilgrimage back north for the summer months. Looking forward to the trails of Acadia.
