 Get on I95 and drive north until it stops in Houlton. The last Starbucks is in 
Bangor which is 2 hours south of Houlton.Once 95 stops get on RT 1 and drive 
north for another hour. Thats Caribou.
Last I knew there was one commercial flight a week into Presque Isle, it flew 
to Newark...

 My phone didn't have very good data service at camp. Dad has a wifi hotspot 
with Cellular One that works well.
Just this week I've moved from Republic Wireless to Red Pocket and thus from 
T-Mobile towers to Verizon. I'm going back in a month, we'll see how it does 
now. So far around home it seems to work a little better.

Its 3/4 mile from the camp and there is another 16x24' garage being build right

It'd be neat to build the barn into a house.

It does when it’s almost in Canada. Caribou, Maine is not exactly where the 
folks from major cities are decamping to. You want granite in your house there 
you just go out in the front yard and dig some up…

A house with a new timber frame barn on 3 acres for 25K? That doesn’t make any
