My imagination sees New England as a bustling region of modernization and a harsh reality that I would intentionally avoid; however, Maine opposes this judgement. It is its own entity where the serenity of a nearly untouched landscape, and atmosphere of a surreal region of people combine. Even upon arrival I was drawn to the peculiarity of the airport and how the people behave themselves. After venturing further into the unknown I saw how the land flowed and rolled out into jagged rocks, balanced

Once upon a time, my dog Sherman and I went on a camping trip to Maine. In the woods we are camping in, there have been multiple reports of dangerous animals. The only way to get to the mountain is by helicopter. There was a landing pad on top of an abandoned building for the helicopter to land on. After the helicopter landed, the hike began.

I couldn't believe that we had missed the one turn were told to take. It was -5 degrees on Sunday River, one of the largest ski resorts in Maine, The website seid that most of the snow was covered with ice, not the best conditions but by all means not the worst. My friend Ben and I were skiing for the first time on Sunday River. We were told that as long as we took the turn on the Snowbound trail, we would end up at the lodge that our parents would be in, But no matter how many times we kept saying
