Maine is a very special place. We have hundreds of lakes and ponds and trout streams to fish or recreate. We have miles of beautiful hiking trails. Most of the land that was readily available to everyone was on privately owned property, much of it held by the paper companies. But some was also held by individual landowners who had the financial ability to buy their cabin in the woods. Many, myself included, have always appreciated and respected that land that did not belong to them. That freedom to roam this great state is one of the many things that makes Maine so very special. I would hope that in the future we will still be able to roam through this beautiful state more or less unposted. ~ Leo H. Mazerall Jr., Stockton Springs
