The larger area around Portland, Maine that we visited for this assignment with @glpfilms includes @visitfreeport. It was here we spent our last hours in Maine before flying home; walking the trails through Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park where we emerged from the trees to this beautiful rocky coast, riding the tractor around @wolfesneckcenter to learn about their innovative practices in regenerative agriculture, shopping at L.L. Bean where it all started and having lunch at the historic Harraseeket Inn all before grabbing a last pint of Maine craft beer at Stars and Stripes.

Like every day of this experience, it was the people who made it special. I’ve tagged their businesses and organizations in my photo.

I arrived to Maine knowing I’d probably enjoy it based on my prior visits to the state. But we visited only areas that were new to me and I found I went from liking Maine to genuinely loving it in the space of our 10 day journey. Like I said when I started this series, I realize it’s a weird time to talk about why you should visit any part of the USA. I see headlines about people being afraid to come here and it breaks my heart. Because we’re so much more than just those headlines. There are so many more stories to discover here. Maine really reinforced that for me. And spots like this reminded me that I don’t have to travel to a foreign country to see beautiful vistas in nature. There’s that and so much more right here. #UnscriptedMaine
