Well, the further North you go, the more conservative it is. Coast is full of liberals. I'd personally not go South of Augusta, I like it rural and conservative where folks mostly mind their own business. The coast is nice to visit, of course, I've not been in a few years. I much prefer the view of Katahdin (in the background of my avatar, from the Golden Road up by Ripogenus Dam). How about somewhere around Bangor, if you need to be within easy commute of a city?

I concur stay north of Augusta but will add that being within 30 minutes of Augusta or Waterville you'll have everything you need and can still make an afternoon of visiting Portland area for occasional specific needs

Quote HistoryQuoted: I concur stay north of Augusta but will add that being within 30 minutes of Augusta or Waterville you'll have everything you need and can still make an afternoon of visiting Portland area for occasional specific needs True! I'm in the Waterville area, stay at my camp in the Houlton area as much as possible (would love to retire up there). 35 minutes from my place to downtown Augusta, an hour and a half or so to Portland, less than an hour to Bangor, depending on traffic (don't do either drive often). Waterville is fine, not as good as it used to be, but not bad. No idea what sort of position you're looking for, job wise, but a nice place to live. Even though we (hopefully not for much longer) have a Dem Gov., we don't put up with a lot of their BS. I'm sure you know we have Constitutional Carry, auto knives legal (thank you Gov. LePage!), suppressors and MG's legal, etc. Winters suck, but it is what it is, find a wooded property and cut/split your own heat. No end of deer, moose, turkeys, black bear, etc. if you're into hunting. We'd love to have you, liberals can stay South (we call it Northern Mass, ha ha). |

Go East on Rt 3 from Augusta and you'll find a bunch of pretty convervative, sparcely populated towns that would provide you with the quiet you're looking for until you get to Belfast. Belfast is still partially conservative but there is a good percentage of the residents there who are more of a liberal bent. Our little town has about 1400 residents and is very spread out so that we shoot in our back yards and no one gives it a second thought. You might want to do some realestate searching between Augusta and Belfast.

I actually just moved home to the coastal area, 30 minutes south of Augusta and it's fine. There are plenty of non liberals here. Try the Bristol, South Bristol, Bremen, Warren, Jefferson, and Waldoboro area (Waldoboro can be a little rough). Good luck.

I just bought a camp on a lake in Perry, Maine. Headed up home this weekend and will be there through the 2nd week of August building a deck, painting and doing other small things to fix her up. Can’t wait.

Can’t wait. make sure you are ok with shoreland zoning, its details are rather arcane, and code enforcement officers literally video shoreline to look for changes and trees cut down in some towns |

I checked it all out. No zoning requirements other than the home/cabin or any new building be 100 feet from the waterline. We’re good there.

Not an issue in my case. There is only green grass to cut down.

Can I bring my guitar and sit in for a few tunes? Actually, I will be traveling there all day Saturday. Leaving NC early and hopefully stopping near Portland for the night and cruising in early Sunday AM. Let me know where else you are playing. My good friend is getting ready to open a new place in Calais overlooking the water with a big deck. Might be a great venue to play as well. |

I did a lot of canoeing and fishing on that as a kid. Yes, Boyden's Lake. I close this afternoon and start building a deck next week. I too did a lot of canoeing and fishing on that and surrounding lakes growing up in the 70's and 80's. |

Beautiful area and I've met some really good people who will be my neighbors. Really looking forward to it. |
