The woods of Northern Maine offer challenges and opportunities unlike those in cities and towns in more populated portions of the United States. Jake Chartier expected a month-long vacation there would give him the opportunity to escape the pressures of his law firm.
Life, however, often interferes with our best-laid plans...

Revolution by Firelight
28 May 2027 – Big Twenty Township, Aroostook County, Maine
Jake Chartier wasn’t in a hurry, not on these roads.
First, no paved roads existed in the unincorporated Big Twenty Township. Second, any traffic Jake might encounter would outweigh him by a few tons. A log truck would win any argument, even unloaded. The logging companies did a decent job maintaining the roads, but blind corners and hills sometimes hid oncoming trucks using more than their share of them. Jake monitored Multi-Use Radio Service channels while driving on them and announced his location when necessary.
Estcourt Road crossed Wildcat Brook, signaling that the last major turn before the US border station lay ahead. Jake took that right onto Old Border Street, leading him behind the old, burned-out gas station and abandoned US Post Office. From there, a path through the tall grass behind people’s backyards led to his grandparents’ old house – now his ‘camp.’
Estcourt Station, Maine, is a curious mistake. Once part of the larger French Canadian village of Saint-Pierre d’Estcourt, Québéc (which is now part of the Town of Pohénégamook), a border survey during the nineteenth century revealed some of the houses on Rue de la Frontière straddled the border or were even totally in the United States. Until the late twentieth century, residents mostly ignored the international boundary. Instead, they acted like a merged town, mimicking the more famous Bebbe Plain and Derby Line in Vermont.
