I've lived in six states and I can say with 100% certainty that I would have stopped in every single one.

Maine is great and all but it's not some unique paradise.

The author is a former LePage stooge, and in fairness to the BDN, it is labeled an opinion piece.

That said, they often publish and promote low-effort conservative drivel like this - they're trying to turn their entire brand into whitewashing the raving lunatics of the Maine GOP.

If the high speed internet line isn't damaged, your generator will power the modem and router.

While they sometimes share lines, they don't always share routing.

Kayaks are much more versatile than SUPs, especially for fishing and any kind of wind or current. Smaller learning curve too.

I'd recommend looking for a boat about 12' long. Will still be small/light enough to car top or truck bed carry, but more stable and versatile than the really cheap 10' models, especially for a full grown American adult male.

Avoid the cheap inflatable kayaks. Unlike the SUPs, they are not good.

If storage or car space is a primary concern, go SUP, and go inflatable, but buy a pump that will run off your cars 12V or a battery. Hand pumps destroy any convenience factor lol.
