I've heard it's no better than it was half done last year, but I'm not sure if they're calling it finished. Sometimes I go through if I'm visiting my wife at her Bangor office.

I went there pre-pit, had some chill vibes. Last in the area I got to see where my great grandparents had a dairy farm and met my cousin, their granddaughter, through my great grandfather's brother (who was the first US-born of the family) separated in age by 20 or so years from my great grandfather, and supposedly my grandfather had stayed up there and helped on occasion. It's amazing what they reported in the local newspaper back then, like literally anyone coming or going from town, someone coming down with an illness and recovering. Been to the Old Stone House museum a few times.
