    I'm rolling with the brand new RM 2012, but no laminated pages:biggrin_2557:. I like to work as a hybrid routing program. I consult my GPS, Google maps, and my Atlas together in order to find the best routing.

    Maptuit is not a true GPS, it is a computer program like Mapquest. I first heard of it in 2003. Rather have GPS.

    NICE!!! So your one of the few people on here that realize my username is not a misspelling but an actual intentional name. I'm originally from Ashland. Dated a girl from PI when I was in middle school but you know you city people are too cool for us potato pickers so it didn't last long

    FUN FACT- I have The County tattooed on my back, well the whole state, but all MT except The County is outlined with a star where Ashland is

    Yeah, not many farms left Doyen's still is in Mapleton, Smith's in Mars Hill/Blaine, and One big one near Van Buren.... But not has changed much. Rumor has it they may start mining gold, copper,etc near Ashland on Bald Mountain but earth loving hippies in southern Maine are doing their best to stop it. If it happens and seems stable I may try to get a job driving up there for a bit, I'd take a paycut to be able to raise my family in The County.

    My father was a coach and a little older then you I think at the time girls high school basketball maybe middle school last name is Millett but related to all the Morins' and Daigles' up north. I guess being related to them meant i was destined to drive truck, run a business, and get in to politics... Now only to dominate the politics in a few years and I can live up to the full family reputation
