OMG! I just found this forum, how cool! I grew up in Caribou, left there in 1980 and haven't been back since, but am finally coming for a visit, we'll be leaving Indiana this Saturday, the 8th of Sept., I am so excited, yet really scared because I am afraid the small town I once new has changed drastically...anyone around that graduated in 1978?

Are you going back to visit Caribou? I hear it's a WONDERFUL place - full of charm. You'll find much has changed over the years, as everywhere, but I'll bet it will still ring true for you. That's how "going home" always is. Enjoy the trip!

Thanks Elcarim! Yes, I will be "going home" for a visit, the first time since 1980...excited, yet scared! I am sure I will be sad because it will not be the same...heck, I imagine alot has changed in 27 years! I can't believe it has been that long!

Presque Isle has made some huge changes. Shoot they even put in a mall in 93, down by the river just before you cross the bridge toward Caribou (yeah, the swampy area LOL.)
Caribou has seen some changes as well, most of downtown is closed and gone. Zaires is now Human Services building. A few of the familiar faces are still there, Sleepers market, and the like. I will bet anything you will run across some of the old classmates.

So when are you heading up? We don't live very far from you and are only working half days this Friday to get a jump on the vacation. Wonder if we should carpool though, we are heading all the way to Eastport.

Actaully, we will be leaving early Saturday morning, we will be travelling in our motorhome, and William's parents will be in theirs. We'll be stopping in PA on the way up to check out Amish Country in Lancaster area, then on up to Caribou, not travelling straight through, obviously, as we have to stop every 100 miles so William can get up and walk around, he had knee surgery a few weeks ago, his Doc gave OK to travel, just frequent stops...
I sure hope I run into someone I went to school with up there, even though I probably won't recognize them after 27 years...

dramamama,
I just noticed you are from Lebanon, OH. My fiance's brother lives there, so I know exactly where you are at. We are on the road right now, stopped in Harrisburg, PA for a couple of days, then leaving in the morning to continue heading up that way to Caribou.
Hope your trip is safe!

Incredible, thanks. The sad part is always in the leaving. Wish someone would will me enough to move sooner than the planned early retirement in about 14 years...sigh.
