So, I had a dream last night that there was a big #SolarPunk conference being held in #MillinocketME (of all places). It was full of folks sharing all sorts of ideas, with the intention of building something bigger there. While I hate long trips, this one was worth it!

#MarkZuckerberg has bought #BurntJacketMountain near #MooseheadLake and has cordoned it off (folks have been able to hike on it since forever).

Mystery Fuels Unease in #Maine Woods: Who Bought Burnt Jacket Mountain

An anonymous new owner fenced off beloved trails and put up surveillance cameras in a region with a long tradition of allowing public access on private land.

Jenna Russell reported from Beaver Cove, Maine, and Heather Knight from San Francisco.

Excerpt: "Soon enough, though, a woman who used to work in Greenville’s town office said she had the answer and posted it on Facebook: The new owner of the mountain was Mark Zuckerberg.
The billionaire founder of Facebook had spent time in the Maine woods before. In 2017, for their fifth wedding anniversary, Mr. Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, had traveled not to Aspen or Cabo, but to #BangorME and #MillinocketME, where they hiked on the Appalachian Trail and met with workers who had lost their jobs when local paper mills shut down."
