Believe it or not, lobster at one time was considered inedible by the first early settlers to America. In the past few centuries, the Maine lobster industry has played a key role in the local culture and economy. The fishing industry in Maine is second only to timber (per capita). Whereas most pulp & paper activity is controlled by large corporations, the lobster industry is primarily still a family run business. This heritage and way of life is to this day passed down from generation to generation. Although a few new technological additions have been added to the mix, little has changed in this culture since lobsters were first commercially harvested since the mid 1800's.

Maine has 711 mountains ranging from 1,000 - 5200 feet high. The landscape of the Mountain County Region of Maine slopes south and east to the central highlands then beyond to the coastal plane, creating one of the state's most beautiful and unique landscapes. Within this region's boundary lie several mountain groups: the Longfellow Mountains, the Katahdin group, the Boundary Mountains, and the Mahoosucs.

Together, these mountains form a portion of the Appalachian Mountain range that stretches from Maine to Georgia. Formed by the collision of the North American and European continental landmasses 500–400 million years ago, geologist believe that these portions of the Appalachians Mountains may have once rivaled the Himalayas in height. Millions of years of weathering and erosive forces have worn them down to their current sizes and shapes. The same convection current that propelled these two landmasses into each other reversed itself some 200 million years ago, separating the landmass in to two distinct continents. This process of spreading continues to the present day as the Atlantic Ocean spreads outward at a rate of about 2 inches per year.

One of the many outstanding qualities about Maine, is its diversity of camping areas and environments.

With camping, it can be difficult to define. For some people, camping means setting up a tent in the woods, hunting, fishing, and doing everything else pretty much from scratch.To others, camping may involve the use of an RV, complete with electrical hook-ups, cooking facilities, AC, and water, and to others, camping may represent staying at a ready-made campsite, or maybe a log cabin. To the majority of campers, camping is somewhat a combination of all of the above.
