I'll be there. Wherever. Shane, you got a shore power hookup at your crib? I installed 110/220v AC in the cab of the truck. Can accept 30 or 50 amp service. Might need to borrow a longer cord for the night though.

"Downeast Maine doesn't even make sense and I grew up in New England. Downeast NC was here when the first settlers were "camping out".

"When people think of Down East, many think this means anything east of Raleigh, but the phrase takes on an entirely different meaning to the locals in eastern Carteret County. The Original Down East begins when you turn at the East Carteret High School and cross over the North River bridge to the community of Bettie, "The Gateway to Down East". The remaining communities include, Atlantic, Cedar Island, Davis, Gloucester, Harkers Island, Otway, Marshallberg, Sea Level, Smyrna, Stacy, Straits, and Williston."

I'm learning keep teaching

found this on a google search for Down East Maine

Heck I like both places !!!! but the LOBSTA is better in Maine

The Down East magazine FAQ explains the origin of the term: "When ships sailed from Boston to ports in Maine (which were to the east of Boston), the wind was at their backs, so they were sailing downwind, hence the term 'Down East.' And it follows that when they returned to Boston they were sailing upwind; many Mainers still speak of going 'up to Boston,' despite the fact that the city lies approximately 50 miles to the south of Maine’s southern border."

The Coastal Plains region of North Carolina is also recognized as "Down East," and is known particularly for the High Tider accent, a dialect remnant of Elizabethan English that was once spoken in colonial Carolina. Combined with a slow southern drawl, the dialect is indigenous to the lowland areas of North and South Carolina.
