Geocache Description:

Feel free to park on the side of the road just past the telephone pole. Sneak in between the two houses, into a very nice cedar and hemlock grove, frequented by deer, turkeys, and children. If you see one of the boys, say hi! They will be excited to see you and thanks in advance.


Perfect little tight knit Maine community of about 2000 people with a median age of 43, 24% below 18 and 15% above 65 years old. Organized in 1802 as Freetown, Fairfax in 1804, then Lygonia (from a geoproprietary provincial grant from the Plymouth council in 1630), settled formally as Albion in 1824. According to wikipedia, Albion is the oldest known name referencing the Island of Great Britain. Iron Maiden (A british heavy metal band formed in 1975) paid homage to their homeland in 2010 with the release of their Final Frontier album. The Quietus includes an insightful assessment of the possible meaning of the song. " 'Coming Home' is a song people will hang their own meanings on, but is ostensibly about returning to the heart of your family, your friends, whether that be after a world tour – a tour of duty – or anything that keeps you away from home....When he sings about returning to ‘Albions land’, he means it. It's nostalgic on every conceivable level..." Living in this town, seeing all the people who go about their lives, only to return to what this community has to offer, I would say that, in this context, the name fits and remains notably nostalgic.
