I’m just imagining raw spaghetti used as those old “curb feeler” devices from the 50s and 60s 😂

Stay out

BOATS AND HOES!

Yeah guy. I totally can't parallel park because I made a joke on Reddit. You caught me.

I would look down in the Belgrade Lakes area. That's where the buffalo Rome.

Thanks for sharing. My mom got knocked down by Andre the Giant there in the 70s, and we have a few seats in the cellar waiting for their next use

No. Presque Isle is great.

They moving the Catalina Wine Mixer to Maine this year?

The comment I didnt know I needed

right?

Not sure if you’re joking but I actually have been camping there 3 times and your description is surprisingly accurate.

Yes, the ones that crunch are known as Italian parallel parking sensors.

Sure they do. When you start hearing the sound of scraping or cracking metal and ABS, that's when you stop!

/s please for the love of dog

There’s no reason to go onto the Redington base itself. That would just be stupid. But you absolutely should go camping in the area.

Yes, there are some crazy stories about that place over the years. But if you honestly think you might just accidentally stumble into it while camping then maybe it’s legitimately not safe for you to go out in the woods anywhere. You would have to be completely oblivious to your surroundings, hiking miles out of your way through the most rugged parts of the Maine woods.

But yeah, there’s great camping, hiking, fishing, etc, all throughout the general area. Listen to your buddy.

Simple solution, before entering your vehicle in the winter months simply walk to the rear of your vehicle and lick the camera sensor. It’s also a salty treat. Win-win

Ford has this for their front camera. No idea why this isn’t universal for rear cameras.

Yeah they do, some beep and some crunch

I’ve heard a few weird stories. One I believed was a guy who said he was 4-wheeling in that area and stopped for a smoke as his party turned around & the next thing he remembers is being at a store many miles away with his quad. Rumors include ppl being blindfolded and dropped off many miles away.

Not jerky. Yes, sticky. An occasional dab of WD-40 works, but how occasionally is necessary?

It gets the people going

That's clearer than mine!

You’ll get to the edge of the Redington property and be greeted by a sign that says no trespassing and you’re kindly asked to turn around.

You keep going, and there will be another sign that basically says “seriously turn the fuck around NOW”

I’m not sure if there is a third sign, but I’m not sure you want to find out what it says either. Probably something along the lines of “if you can read this, you’re already dead”

My ears never recovered from a Bill Chinook show I saw sometime in the early 80’s. and I swear I saw a cheerleader get thrown all the way up to the mid court scoreboard during the state cheering meet one year.

A lot of comments here based off what folks think versus reality. It is highly unlikely you will find yourself on the same property. The closest you may get is a gate. The school is in Redington, close to Rangeley but not Rangeley. Anyone training at SERE school isn’t going to run into a camper… and if they did, they won’t kill them but you’ll probably get a strong lecture and redirected where you should be. To even think you’ll be harmed is based off of weird backwoods legends deep in the mobile home neck of the woods. You’ll be fine. Just be mindful where you camp - make sure it’s public land and not private and follow the laws and regulations pertaining to the land.
