Nobody is driving from Houlton, or north of there down to Bangor for anything. That’s a 3-4 hour desolate drive down to Bangor.
Houlton and Fort Kent are 2 plus hours apart. Houlton is a pretty big town for that area. And a Presque isle is known as the hub of Aroostook…its got everything one needs…definitely a small town, but doesn’t feel all that remote for up there. Caribou is another cool small town, that has everything you need. But Once you get north of caribou…it starts to get much, much more sparse. Fort Kent and Madawaska are neat lil small towns too. Folks are really genuine and sincere up there…again, it’s a different world in that respect as well.
