Ding ding ding ding!!! Thank goodness!!!!!!!!!! I’m retiring from this since I give such bad clues.
When the text came up near the beginning of the PBS video Joshua linked, I thought for sure you would all know it.
As far as I know learning from Jeremy Davis, I had previously done the furthest South NELSAP area, so this time I decided to do the furthest North.
http://www.nelsap.org/me/county.html</div><div><br/></div><div>1. This canton only had surface lifts.1a. This canton means a collection of towns.
This ain’t an Oxford Dictionary definition, but it is true in the Northeast & Midwest.
1a+. This —Noun— means a collection of towns. 1a++. Forget the canton
Cantons in Europe are administrative districts as are counties in this country. Ok, a county is not defined as a collection of towns, but for the most part in the Northeast & Midwest that’s how they are delineated.
2a & b. Take Horace Greeley’s advice but at 90°s.
2c & d. Quebec has cantons, but mine is farther west than that city, err whoops sorry.. I mean further in that other direction.
2e. And see the 1st ¾ of my signature below.
So I meant way, way north, and Fort Kent is north of Quebec CITY and ¾ of my signature implies New England.
3. 15 mins from another “resort” with surface lifts.When I used quotation marks around resort, it probably isn’t a resort. Sorry Lonesome Pine, I love you but you’re not what most people think of as a resort.3a & b. The 2nd “resort” is open.3b is implied in Mapnut’s summary below.
That implied one was NELSAP.4. I’ll add a new clue that won’t help. Both “resorts” have or had(that right there is the same as 3b) the same # of “lifts”.
They both have or had 2 lifts. That again implied one was NELSAP.
5. Mapnut said where the answer lies. Mapnut said it was in Maine and in the PBS video
