1ST VICE PRESIDENT

Here in Maine, you will also find everything you need: untouched wilderness camping in Baxter
State Park and Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, along with several amazing
state parks for whatever experience you're looking to have.
We hope you join us camping this year, and I am confident that after one visit you will want to return for more. We wish you the best, and I hope to run into you while I'm out hiking or fly fishing.
Enjoy your stay.

Sincerely,
Janet T. Mills
