It might be worth it to try and visit all three while you're here. Yes, Jackman is the most remote but I wouldn't exactly describe the other two as bustling hubs of activity either lol.

Coming to visit in the next couple of months while things are at their coldest/slowest would be your/your husband's best view of what life will be like.

At least Calais and Houlton have Walmarts and Hannafords.

Jackman has a tiny grocery store that smells funny. I stopped there on the way home from Canada and grabbed a pack of baby carrots to snack on. Drove a mile down the road and realized they were moldy.

Goddamn. It's bad enough they'd be selling any foods with mold, but baby carrots in particular are so coated in chemicals those had to have been old af! Grody.

Thanks! Yeah for sure lol I know it isn’t like busting with activity, I don’t really care anyways bc I’m a loner. I like being away from people. So I don’t need much. I’ll definitely visit before relocating. Just wanted to see what you guys thought about these places or experiences with them
