I didn't go 30-40 miles west of 1, much less 11. There are no roads listed on the map! All I had was 1 oz. of beef jerky and some roasted soynuts and there was no way I was going to get lost for the night. I am sure I could have rigged up a snare to catch a raccoon to eat if I had to though. I guess I could have stole some potatoes if I got really desperate. I hope I spelled potatoes correctly. Ever since Dan Quale misspelled it in front of that class I always have to think about it.
I love to just take off and explore, but only when I plan for it. Maine is no place to go anywhere unprepared. Especially a city boy like me.
If you were on Rt. 11, you were skirting the forest, and in some places were driving right through it, as you also do on the northern protion of I-95. As far as maps go, they probably would not have done you any good. The forests have a few roads, but they are privately owned by the logging and paper companies. They don't usually have a problem with people using them. If you ever take off on one of those, you'd better have a guide, because it's very easy to get lost.
