speaking of townships......

the fascination continues, my friends.

- did you know that over one half of the state of Maine is known as Unorganized Territory. meaning, TOWNSHIPS. and approx. 9,000 people live there year round.

- did you also know that Robert Redford and Harrison Ford are huge supporters of the Americans for a Maine Woods National Park? apparently the area of Maine that is all woods is known as the "Maine North Woods." and they want it to be a national park. if it does become a national park, it would be bigger than Yellowstone and Yosemite combined.

go maine.

  1. my dad told me that there are some towns in maine that don't have names, just numbers. can you imagine someone being like "hey, where are you from?" and then you're like, "oh, i'm from 749." and they'd be all like "what is that?" and you'd be all like "maine, of course!"
