Reply to comment by Alexhite in UMaine Presque Isle by thesleazye

Presque Isle is like Los Angeles compared to some rural places in Maine.

Woof. I'm 90 miles from LA and want to GET AWAY. I thought NYC was intense. Yikes.

I get your point, though. Very interesting.

If you're tired of LA, and CA in general, and want the opposite of whatever you're tired of there, Presque Isle is the place for you. LA has everything, and PI has nothing, which might be kinda nice if you like that sort of thing. Also one of the safest places to be in a nuclear Armageddon.

Noice. Even though I’m trying to enroll into an online program, it’s good to know where to bug out.

I came across that info recently with all the nuclear war talk. We lived in Greenville at Moosehead lake for a winter while I worked at the 100 mile wilderness property. Really loved Maine in the winter, snowmobiling, snow plowing, snowshoeing, all things snow! But summers are super buggy ugh. Best wishes for your education.

No worries - If all goes well, I'm going to try to convince my wife for a random flight from CA to ME for funsies and exploration. I'll leave the nuclear armageddon fun facts until we get there.

Thanks for the wishes - hopefully it all works out as I'm getting it together.
