#16: The Desert of Maine
Maine might evoke images of lush forests and coastal scenes, but it also hosts the unexpected Desert of Maine. This Freeport anomaly, a glacial sand area surrounded by pine trees, stands as a unique, albeit somber, attraction evidencing human impact.

The region lost its potential vegetation due to unsustainable farming practices, leaving an indelible mark. What could have been a vibrant landscape was transformed into a barren sight, serving as a stark reminder and an unconventional tourist spot.
