dylan15+FollowMaine magic: How a simple trip brought my teens backWatching my teens reconnect with their childhood selves on the rocky shores of Northport, Maine, reminded me how powerful a change of scenery can be. Instead of screen time, we found laughter, sea glass, and old traditions—like card games and ice cream runs—making memories that felt like a pause button on their rush to adulthood. No fancy plans, just slow days and small adventures. It turns out, you’re never too old to find treasure if you’re looking together. Anyone else feel like the best family moments happen when you least expect them? #Travel #FamilyTime #Maine00Share
Matthew Kirk+FollowHammerhead worms: Maine’s new garden invaderHammerhead worms are popping up from York to Farmington, and they’re not your average garden pest. These toxic, ribbon-like worms can irritate your skin and make pets sick, but what’s really wild is their impact on our soil. They eat earthworms, which could mean healthier forests but might spell trouble for home gardens that rely on earthworms for good soil. If you spot one, don’t cut it—soapy water or freezing is the way to go. Maine officials want your sightings, so keep your eyes peeled! How do you feel about these unexpected visitors in our backyards? #Pets #Maine #InvasiveSpecies00Share
Heather Moore+FollowWhy Boomers Are Selling Their Beach HousesEver dream of a Maine beach house? Boomers are suddenly putting theirs up for sale—fast.

If you’ve been eyeing a seaside escape, now’s your chance. But heads up: high mortgage rates and all-cash buyers mean it’s still tough for younger folks to snag a deal. The market’s shifting, so keep your eyes peeled for bargains! #RealEstate #MoneyMoves #BoomerSellOff #HomeBuying #Maine40Share
lolson+FollowWhy Northern New England is underrated for huntersJust moved to NH and honestly blown away by how hunter-friendly it is up here! 🦌 No draw systems (except moose), your license includes tags, and here's the crazy part - you can hunt anywhere that's not posted. Most big landowners don't even post because they get tax breaks for keeping land open! Yeah the deer density isn't like down south, but these northern bucks are MASSIVE. Plus I can hunt Maine, NH, and Vermont all for under $500 total. Even as a non-resident, Maine is only $150. Been living near Boston for work and driving up weekends. Best of both worlds - decent job market but incredible hunting access. The tougher hunting just makes it more rewarding when you connect. Anyone else hunting this region? The lack of red tape is refreshing compared to other states. #Outdoors #hunting #newenglandhunting #newhampshire #maine #publiclandhunting118Share
