I’m pretty excited that summer is finally here. Now that we’re fully vaccinated against COVID-19, my husband, Rob, and I are looking forward to visiting some of our favorite New England summer haunts again. Among the places we’ve missed most is Maine, with its picturesque coastline, broad sandy beaches, endless hiking trails, and fresh lobster rolls for sale on what seems like every corner. (It’s also much cooler in Maine than where I live in Massachusetts.) When I was working on this issue, I came across an interesting place in Freeport called the “Desert of Maine.” It’s not a real desert, of course—it gets the same weather as everywhere else along Maine’s southern coast—but a 40-acre glacial sand deposit that dates back more than 12,000 years, home to shifting dunes up to 65 feet tall. The “desert” is open to the public, so Rob and I plan to check it out on our next trip north. (See The End in this issue to find out more.) You’ll find other things to do and see this summer in this issue’s Cultural Calendar and in The Buzz. Read about a cannabis-friendly campground in Maine, a Massachusetts museum that’s home to some of the world’s worst art, and an in-person workshop in New Hampshire where you can learn how to build with sustainable hempcrete. No matter what your plans are this summer, I hope you’ll have the opportunity to visit some of your favorite places again, too, and perhaps even discover a few new ones along the way. As Beat writer Jack Kerouac, who was from my hometown of Lowell, wrote, “Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.” Happy summer,
No matter what your plans are this summer, I hope you’ll have the opportunity to visit some of your favorite places again, too, and perhaps even discover a few new ones along the way.
