13 Privileges Mainers Have That The Rest Of The U.S. Doesn’t

But, LOBSTER.

Maybe not literally. But, having the area's only National Park is a pretty special distinction.

Mainers have Henry's Swap or Sell It Guide to help find anything and everything. You won't find this down south and we're pretty proud of that.

In May 2015, Outside Magazine published an article titled "The Piscivore's Dilemma," urging you seafood lovers to make the smallest impact on the environment without giving up meat.

If you visited one a day, it would take you almost 9 years to see them all! And, did you know that only about 1,200 Maine coast islands have an acre or more? 600 comprise 95% of the island acreage.

Blueberries might grow other places, but there's nothing better than slogging through a difficult hike and pulling out your containers from home to load up!

Other states are sunny, green and blue, but not many endure the winters that a good, hearty Mainer does. It makes summer days like this even more special.

Wild turkeys, moose and deer might all decide to take a stroll through your neighborhood just when you were hoping to leave.

But, exactly where this first sunrise is found has been a bit contested. There are three places that claim have the first view - Lubec, Mars Hill and Cadillac Mountain in Acadia. It seems that just where you see the sunrise first depends on the time of year. From late March to mid-September, you'll want to head to Mars Hill for first light. But, from mid-September through the first week of October you should head to Quoddy Head. If you want to work for your view and see it from Cadillac Mountain you have some more time. Be there between mid-October and early March and you'll be greeted by America's first light.

Quoddy Head State Park in Maine is the closest point in the US to Africa. Specifically, Safi Province in Morocco.

There's no other peak in America like the peak of Katahdin after months of hiking north.

Oh, what fun.
