Wooden stakes from fish traps built about 3,000 years ago turned up in a lake beside this trail in the 1990s. That one caught me by surprise. The path itself is much younger. Trains started rolling along this route in 1868, hauling goods through central Maine. Today the rails are gone, and the old railbed stretches nearly 30 miles between two small towns.

LePage wins Maine's 2nd Congressional District

(The Center Square) — Republican Former Gov. Paul LePage has officially won the election for Maine's 2nd Congressional District seat following a ranked-choice voting tabulation. Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows announced late Thursday that the ranked-choice voting runoff showed LePage with more than 50% of the vote to Democrat Matt Dunlap's 49%, with other votes either "blanked" or going to declared write-in candidates. It comes one week after Dunlap conceded the race, and after LePage traveled to Washington this week to attend House freshman orientation sessions at the Capitol building. Brent Littlefield, LePage's senior advisor and campaign consultant, said the ranked-choice process "only confirmed what we already knew: Paul LePage is the Congressman-Elect for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District."

"As Paul said, he will work with anyone, regardless of Party, to put Maine first." LePage will fill the seat currently occupied by outgoing Democratic Rep. Jared Golden, who decided not to run for reelection. Trump carried the 2nd District handily in
