Caribou, from Bangor you get on 95 and drive north for about 2 hours until 95 turns to go into Canada. Then you get on rt 1 and drive north for an hour. I was there 3 weeks ago, the week before you were around elsewise I would have arranged for a meetup. -Curt Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2007 07:59:14 -0500 From: "Kaleb C.
