New England Connect Transmission Corridor or “Forest of the Enchanted”? This forest is 1.6 million acres with only one paved road as access, the Old Canada Road National Scenic Highway. This distinguishes Maine as not just a coastal tourist state but as the only state east of the Mississippi that is wilderness as well. The old timers called this “The Forest of the Enchanted” because there are places where streams disappear only to pop up miles away. I prefer the name “Forrest of the Enchanted.” You decide in November. ~ Ed Buzzell, Old Canada Road National Scenic Byway, Pittsfield
