My Mockumentary is playing in Bethel!

Hope this is ok to post, but wanted to alert folks to my indie mockumentary comedy, Canoe Dig It? will be playing at Greenwood Features tomorrow night at 8pm! It’s about the very real sport of Freestyle Canoeing and is very much up the alley of any fan of Best in Show or anything Christopher Guest, but with a lot more painfully dry New England humor. It was entirely shot in Maine and I will be there for a Q&A after the film as well!

Being very much an indie, we don’t really have budget for marketing, so hope getting the word out this way is permissible!

Cabin in New England

Hello! I am from upstate NY and I remember going to like bare-bones cabins in (i think) campgrounds in New England w my mom when I was a kid... Like a cabin with electricity, running water, a fridge, and a bunch of bunk beds. I'm trying to do a birthday thing with a bunch of friends where we unwind at a cabin walking distance from some kind of body of water. Are there any like cheap-ish cabins in New England that can fit about 10 people? Any help is appreciated!!

I traced my hometown's stone walls.

Hey Nutmeggers,

this is an old hobby of mine, but I figured I show it off: I noticed no one ever made a survey of my town's old colonial stone walls, and being fascinated by their layouts since my days with the Lyme Land Trust as a wee lad, I decided to trace them myself.

They'll never be 100% accurate, unless somebody wants to book it out into the bush and measure them meter by meter, but I tried my best with the power of winter-time satellite, which I found to be more precise than using LiDAR.

I had a much more expansive project 8 years ago, covering Stonington, Block Island, Little Compton, the Aran Islands, and Öland, but that computer has since exploded.

My end goal is to ultimately cover all of New England at some point, but for the time being, I have to play it by ear so that my laptop doesn't blow up every 3 minutes lol.

Salem MA

I hope I’m not in the wrong place. I would love some input in regards to a 3-night trip to Salem MA in October. We’re from upstate NY. I’m shocked by the hotel and AirBNB prices. Even the closest Motel 6 is $250+ a night. The Hampton is $400. This is 2-3x what we pay for these chain hotels here. At this point I am considering renting an RV for $125/day and sleeping in that. Are there some decent places to park an RV there (like Love’s truck stop)? We just want to enjoy spooky things and do all the tours.
