My favorite part just after the Piscataqua Bridge

It can be a rough pass to get through come winter, but sure is pretty. The Eliot exit was closed for so long because of all those avalanches.

The shining took place In Colorado. Lol.

Firm_Rock6519 t1_iufqbrg wrote on October 30, 2022 at 11:48 PM

Everyone saying "but the Shining took place in Colorado" is correct, but this opening shot was filmed in Glacier National Park, Montana. The Timberline Lodge in Oregon was used for exterior shots. The rest was filmed in England. I don't think any of the movie was filmed in Colorado.

Kinda like how most films set in Maine aren’t actually filmed here

Just googled it and apparently some of it was filmed in an apartment complex in Colorado, but yeah, most of it was in London, an airport outside London, an American legion post in SoCal, and Glacier NP.

Overlook Hotel is based on the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO. Definitely not Maine by a long shot.

GreenStoneRidge t1_iuf5ey9 wrote on October 30, 2022 at 9:20 PM

But owned by Mainers. So that's something. The Stanley brothers were practically like wright brothers lite. Their museum in kingfield is pretty solid spot to spend 90 minutes.

lol that's not Maine. That's out west.

that'd probably be a better slogan than the "open for business" one that was up for a few years.

As someone who drives between Maine and NH regularly, I can second this.

Been to NH and back for the last three weekends, can confirm.

And OP picks of the few books King wrote that isn't set anywhere near Maine.

True, but at the end of the book the mom, kid and chef are up at Rangely.

I sometimes feel like Mainers are better at geography than the average American, and then I remember the people I went to high school with who thought Pennsylvania was a different country

Did they think the Amish were foreigners?

No, this is what Mainers see when they die and go to heaven.

Your best chance of a mountainous entrance to Maine is actually in NH coming through Jefferson down Route 2. Alternately coming down from Canada through Coburn Gore on Route 201 has some nice sights as well.

Beans is right around that corner.
