Re: All Things NewEngland....redux
NewParadigmGuy, thanks for the link! Definetly helps clarify it slightly better, along with the whole article. It said though just Maine, and not Northern Maine, which I wanted to make sure of, cause well Maine is an absolutely huge place as we all know.
I will state here that my intuition for a fair share amount of time has been telling me the mountains of Maine for a long time, in that any other alternative I would refuse to even consider (I'm not open minded to other ideas, I just trust my intuition).
As I pointed out though, my whole life I've been going to the Newry, Maine area (Sunday River) and very familiar with the area in general. Not to mention it is a gold mine (well not that type of mine) of minerals, specifically quartz based minerals like Amethyst and Tourmaline. There is a valley just north of Newry along the NH border that is completely uninhabited. Main reason it is a major watershed for Maine/NH, so only logging is allowed in the area. At least that's what I heard. It is the Grafton Notch area if any of you are familiar with it.
There is also Franklin County which borders Oxford County (Newy is in the northern tip of this county). Franklin County is where William Reich had his laboratory in the Rangeley Lakes region, and he himself witnessed UFOs in the area, and also borders Canada, which you could say is just a comforting feeling. The three areas that I am considering at the moment if you want to assist me in research of the area are these two counties, and Baxter State Park in Maine. This of coarse includes the idea of land ownership which is a tough idea to riddle through, as in may it not matter in times to come, especially in an extremely remote area such as Baxter State Park.
Here are some factors we should consider on potential areas for relocation:
1. Indigenous Myths - Abenaki and Penobscot
2. UFO sightings throughout history, areas of known paranormal activity
3. Geographic Practicality - Rivers/lakes, distance from society, terrain
4. Resource Availability in the region - Minerals, native edibles/animals
5. Your gut intuition
An idea we did express at the meeting about is relocating to a temporary area where one of us do have land already. Ideas of Keene, NH and Rockland, Maine were mentioned. Rockland however is smack dab on the coast. I believe it was NewParadigmGuy who said his family owned 2 acres of unused woods there.
The idea being it may be a staging point for us for times to come as all of us are fairly on board with the ideas that the coasts are not safe in times to come. We would then move into the mountains then on when we feel the time is right.
A point to make about Maine (but technically begins with Cape Cod going up to Nova Scotia), is the relatively large size of the continental shelf, aprox. 250 miles, while the average shelf tends to be 10-20 miles. This makes Maine very safe from the improbable (IMO) event of a tsuamni doing a significant devastation as the tidal wave has time to weaken over the shelf (the shelf is what causes the wave to raise in height as the wave in the ocean is compressed suddenly at the shelf).
Another interesting side note, the Appalachians are the oldest mountain range on the planet. So, Mt. Washington and Mt. Katahdin are the oldest mountains of their significant size on the planet.
Question, does anyone have farm animals by chance because sadly you can't get them in that lovely easily portable seed form?
