Jackman is the most remote and "Maine". Houlton and Calais are small towns/ county seats (sorta) struggling to survive but they have both seen a bit of invigoration during covid. The best thing about both towns probably is they're 1.5 hours from bangor. The lack of healthcare, amenities you might be used to like gyms.

I take it your husband/ you are CBP?

Good to know, yeah, potentially border patrol not sold on it yet, since the locations are not the most “ideal” locations but I’m up for the challenge. Healthcare is certainly something I worry about. I currently live in an area with awful health care so…good to know thank you

I dunno man I legit felt bad for a BP agent up there. When I was crossing they searched our car and when he saw my boots in the car and recognized they are mainly used by ppl in public service guy loosened up a bit and we chatted it up and I was interested in going into BP at the time. Guy seemed legitimately lonely and didn’t like being up there I could feel his disdain lol. I mean you have a family so it might not be bad but realllllly think about it. Not sure what your experience is with remote but some towns in the area don’t even have names just numbers haha. Especially if your use to city life, but hey even if you are it might be a nice change for awhile eh? I know I couldn’t do it I’m a fan of night life.
