After a good half-hour of sauntering through the powdery snow beneath a canopy of shadowy spruce, the narrow path gave way to spacious blue skies over the deep green waters of Alaska Cove. Quite confident I wasn’t in Alaska, but rather firmly in Maine at one of the prettiest spots anywhere along the Downeast coast, I paused for a long while to admire the view eastward over Pleasant Bay to Mary Look Point and Cape Split on the Addison Peninsula.
