Visiting the "real" Collinwood
« on: June 22, 2004, 04:20:23 AM »
Greetings,

Just got back from a trip to New England.  Among my stops was Acadia National Park in Maine, and the surrounding area.  Interesting thing about the area is that, according to Art Wallace's bible for DS, it is where Colllinsport is supposed to be located.  Wallace mentions that Collinsport is located in Hancock County, near Frenchman Bay, which is exactly where I was.  Didn't spy any mansions, but visited several of the fishing villages in the area, and felt very "DS" the whole time.

Another interesting aspect of the area is the frequent appearances of the names 'Collins' and 'Haskell' on mailboxes and tombstones.

Regards,

John

That's a BEAUTIFUL area.  A few of us went there after the fest in 2001.  There is a mexican resturant in Bar Harbor that serves THE best margaritas I've ever had.  And I'm from Texas so thats saying alot.
