Maine in the USA with a silly little car

Maine is not a state with many conveniences, at least once you head out of Portland. I was surprised to have 3G service on my phone for about 30 miles outside of the city, then I lost signal for a while, and now I'm on Edge...There's no Olive Garden, or Chili's, or Carrabas for miles around - or any other of our favorite places. We took a chance on a local restaurant that had good reviews online, and I guess it was good by local standards, but ..

I want to see a moose.

Yet, in driving all over the backwoods of Maine, the only thing we saw was a wildlife park. A park? Shouldn't the animals just roam free and wild in Maine? Vacationland, right? You should see all kinds of crazy animals just wandering around all over the place? Well, we're just far enough out of civilization to be out of civilization, but not far enough to see any moose I guess.

And, my rental car is a silly little thing that I will probably die inside if I get in an accident with it. I always rent the economy car and about 50% of the time get upgraded for free because they are sold out of the economy cars. Sometimes I get stuck with a Ford Focus or something dinky, but this time .. a Yaris?? C'mon, you gotta be kidding me?
