How I unwind in the North Maine Woods

There are few places in the world today where you can truly disconnect. Fortunately, there are still areas of Maine where you can make an escape. In these refuges, trees block satellite signals and you won’t run into many – if any – people. Entertainment is the crackle and glow of a campfire. Music is the trill of tree frogs. The only conversations you’ll have are with the people right in front of you.

Spending that time in the wilderness, even just a few days, was rejuvenating.
