    I would love to have you come go Aroostook County, Maine, in the winter. This is our tourism season due to the amount of snow we get. Snowmobile season, snowshoes, cross country skiing, sliding, ice fishing eith trucks on a lake, etc. It's also the part of Maine that truly sees all 4 seasons!!! ATV, hiking, hunting, fishing, leaf peeping, etc.

      We average 110 plus inches of snow starting in October and going into May sometimes.

    Just a little insight into this video. This was going to be a short form video for instagram, tiktok, and our @woltersworldshorts channel, however i got a bit over excited and made the video too long. So apologies as I know many people don't like the long form videos in this vertical form. My apologies.

    You should definitely hop up to Portland and take the ferry/mail boat out to the islands in Casco Bay. It's beautiful and you can either stay on the boat and do a quick tour, or hop off and explore the islands.

    No way! Finally in my neck of the woods :) I live in OOB! I always order ice cream by the SCOOP because then I know exactly how much I’m getting. ;) Too many child’s head sized ice creams that I couldn’t finish! Funtown/Splashtown is a great place for kids too if you wanna stop by! About 10 mins away. Awesome water slides :) It’s a Maine staple. Taqueria 207 is a DELICIOUS small Mexican Restaurant that I constantly go to!! Try it!!

    Hope you had a good time in Maine buddy. I know the water is a bit nippy but it was near 90 when you guys were there. You just need to take a run at it and not over think it. 😂 The motel you filmed at 1:21 into the video is the Americas Best Value Inn mount royal. That's where I stayed in OOB. It's basic but clean and has a pool and it's directly across from the beach. It's a shame you didn't get to Ogunquit or Kennebunk but from what you were telling me about your road trip it seemed like you hit alot of places in a very short period. Hope you guys had a great time though.

      This year we were really wanting to see friends that covid has kept us apart. So that's been an overall theme this year. We saw a good friend in Portland, Maine which was wonderful. But usually we will ask the kidd for a place they would like to go, we ask our fans as well, and then it's kind of like, "where would be cool to travel to that we haven't been to yet?"

    Hey Mark, I was wondering how you were doing with your diet. I hope this doesn't sound like spam but I've lost 15 pounds by eating half the carbs as previous. That's it! I still have cheat days where I eat donuts or pizza but I now have salads or veggies dipped in Ranch dressing instead of fries. Cheeseburgers? Yep, with a salad or nothing else. Lots of protein, cheese, etc.

      The south coast between Portland and Ogunquit are the only place in the state where you'll find long stretches of beach like that. Anything north or south of those places are rock beaches not sand. Although I agree there are some amazing places north of Portland. Acadia is amongst my favorite parks in the US.

    The trolley is a rip off. Places like Bethel, ME or Miami Beach have free trolleys for tourists. how cheap can old orchard be?!? Ever since the residents complained and ended concerts at the ball park I realized Old Orchard has become too lame. So many famous musicians played there for over a century then these old geezers complained and ended it. So over priced junk food there and hardly anything healthy to eat. I'll stay at my Mom's in Pine Point and avoid all the chaos down the road...
