Send us a text

Hilary Nangle is a Maine maven -- born there, lives there and writes guidebooks about her beloved most-eastern New England state. She takes us on a trip up the coast, from the sandy south beaches to the rocky Down East peninsulas, and inland, to oudoor pleasures, sharing stories and fun facts along the way.
--- What makes Maine so special? Hilary suggests the best times to visit, and the best places to experience-- from the casual beachy towns of the southern Maine coast, to the artsy, foody city of Portland, to pretty mid-coast places and peninsulas like Camden and Blue Hill, Bar Harbor, and Mt. Desert island.
-- She adds the northern, Down East towns near the Canadian border, and also takes us inland for outdoor pleasures, lakes and springs. And along the way she mentions history and favorite lobster shacks.
-- Hilary ends with a special memory of a Maine trip with her dad.
