Long story short, I’m a carpenter, doing mostly handyman stuff … I’ve done big reno’s and frame to finish projects in the past .. but have kinda been having fun playing the small jons lately .. my insurance just went from roughly $600/yr to $3600 !!! With no warning !! I’m not very happy .. I’m going to change companies, just on principle. Anyone out there have any recommendations?? Montpelier area. TIA 🤙
Golden Road Cost / Alternatives
We regularly camp in the North Maine Woods since our goal is usually to get as far from civilization as possible. I priced out a longer trip this fall, but camping/day-use access on the Golden Road would be around $800 for 10 nights, which is unfortunately out of our budget this year.
Are there any other areas in northern Maine we could explore back roads and do remote camping? I know we’re more limited without access to the Golden Road, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
