Sadly, Moscow is not on the sign.

The sign is five miles from my FIL's

8. We have a Vienna?!?!
Whoah! :o

I did not know that.

At some point, when I go up to Norway again, I'll get a picture of the copy-cat Presidents' sign and post it here.

I like that one.

14. Well....
you know. Most Mainers out by the sign might not get that Calais is actually not original to Maine. Too obscure.

So no signage for calais!

PS

We need a real Maine meetup!

24. Well shit, maybe we should just all agree to meet in someplace like Damariscotta clam shack.
Everyone goes there once a summer anyways, right?

19. I can beat that pic..
I've been to that sign many times :)

But this picture is part of a GeoCache (there was a thread earlier today about that) that the sign was part of.

20. Good pic there. Sadly there is more gee-gaws on the hill behind the sign.
Garden gnomes, gazing balls, running daffy ducks.

Tacky.

21. I drove past that sign and looked like beaver had been working on the post

I was visiting a dear old friend that lives on Keyzar lake and she told me that sign had a propensity to disappear often.

22. Local kids tend to get to it I think.
Keyzar lake is one of the great lakes of Oxford county.
