Well after a night in a nice hotel we headed off to Molunkus Maine, in the pouring rain. Hand drawn map in hand to a cabin in the woods. After finally finding it we realized how remote it was. Its right on route 2, only a couple of yards from the road, but 30 minutes to any type of civilization.
Unfortunately it is a vacation resort for numerous breeds of larger sized mosquitos, that now have many pints of blood. The rain didn't make things any better. To boot there is no running water or electricity. I don't mind going back to basics, but not preparing ahead of time (ie bringing fresh water) or propane for the lanterns that the cabin is piped for. It also was way too hot and humid for getting the wood stove going to cook on, or heat water for a shower.
Although it may have been a free place to stay we stayed one night because we were miserable. I think it'd be nice if we prepared ahead of time and the weather was cooler.
We wanted to check out Baxter State Park but when we found out that it is closed to motorcycles we were completely turned off.
The next morning we packed up our things, repaired the door to the cabin. Someone had previously kicked the door in and broke the wood on the casing. I wouldn't have felt right leaving it unlocked, so a tube of epoxy and many screws. I got a workout with no power drill to make the job easy. Many vials of blood donated to the mosquitos later we were off to someplace we know we both enjoy.
