Good beavers! I'm sure they left the EM Club alone. <g> I've driven  
the Bangor to Presque Isle run a few times. It is the subject of a  
famous country & western song about a tombstone every mile, or some  
such. I haven't been recently, though. My guess is it's not as  
deserted as it once was. I recall driving the Airline (Route 9)  
between Bangor and Calais some years ago and it was a lot like the  
Hainesville Woods, but in the past five or six years it's become a lot  
less isolated. Still pretty damn rural, but less so than it once was.  
I believe there are at least two places to get gas between Bangor and  
Calais now. The first time I drove the Airline, I don't recall even  
one. (Local legend says it's called the Airline because some engineer  
took a ruler and drew a straight line between Bangor and Calais and  
then built a road, topography be damned. Kinda like the Romans.)
