Think you've seen all the sights of Maine? Maybe not...This week we'll take you to some of the state's more remarkable - and sometimes overlooked - wonders.
 MOXIE FALLS It's not quite off the beaten path, but Moxie Falls is hidden enough that if you aren't looking hard, you might just drive by the trailhead and miss out on one of Maine's highest waterfalls.
