hmmmmm...maybe I'll apply for a govt grant to study the issue. I'd get to live in Maine, see all kinds of awesome places, and the tax payers would pay.
Whatcha think?
If there is such a correlation.....I know the winner of the contest. When I was a kid....it was a rite of passage to learn how to pronounce the name of a near by lake....."Chagogagogmanchogagogchabunagunamog". Most just called it Indian Lake. Imagine trying to get "Camp Chagogagogmanchogagogchabunagunamog" on a sweat shirt!

That's so ridiculous the gov't would probably give you millions! Study Musquash and we'll meet you there with a boat.

Will be there, I am also a member of his fan club and tried to get a pre-party going but not to many people were interested or there are not many Toby fans here that are also fan club members. I will be heading up soon.

I saw your vehicle leaving the concert. We were beside and one vehicle behind you at the light going onto Main St. You can't miss a vehicle that big with a TobyFan plate!

Guess we could have had an after party I think he did a great job, much better than when I have seen him in Portland, he smiled a lot, that was great to see. I hope he comes back to Bangor, weather was awesome.

I loved the beginning! The pyrotechnics at the end of the video set the tone. We had a great time. I got a kick out of the song "that will never be on the radio for obvious reasons." He looked like he had as much fun as we did.

I love get out of my car. I almost made a sign that said, what would it hurt take off that shirt, because on his fan club website there is a thread on chest shots. He smiled a lot more here than I ever saw him do in Portland. I hope he had a good time.

We heard and saw loons and a moose and deer.

I used to live very near Lake Winnepeasaukie in NH.....and the contrast was like night and day.

It is beautiful up there. It's been a few years since we have visited that area, now it makes me want to plan for a nice day trip! Thanks for sharing.

They are doing some roadwork on the area known as "Height of Land".....and its down to one lane.....it caused a slow down on that very scenic stretch.....Major Roadwork! We were there just after the 4th of July......and it looked as if they would be working for awhile.....it is probably worse on the week end.
