Reply to comment by tractorchick in In the U.S., Maine has the longest power outages. by Zippykalzoo
I grew up in southern Maine all through the 90s and nobody had generators. I don't ever remember the power being out for more than one day.
So either the situation has deteriorated, or it's always been bad elsewhere but not in the particular area I grew up in.

Awesome, keep it just the way it is! My family has a camp up in the western mountains and it's such a nice escape from everything.

How off-grid is it? I assume it has electricity because there's a TV mast. Also assuming outhouse because of the size.
Does it have well water or do you haul water in?
Either way, there's nothing better than crisp fall weather, a bonfire, and a bottle of bourbon being passed around at a place like that. Cheers.

Spectrum sucks almost as much as you do.
