Absolutely beautiful state but.. its sorta REAL cold there. Spent one Christmas holiday there with family and think I could do it shoulder seasons. Went to a Wells Wedding in August.. OMG was it a tad hot and humid.. never would have thought. Of course I lived in AZ where we were lucky enough to have dinner plate sized spiders come into our home and snakes .. no poisonious snakes in Maine right? and scorpians was no biggie. Heat without humidity is much easier to handle.
