FRYEBURG, Maine — Following several acts of vandalism aimed at signage within the past several weeks — with signs and info kiosks destroyed or damaged in the White Mountain National Forest, and a welcome sign stolen in Tamworth — Fryeburg’s rail trail has become the latest victim, the town manager reported Friday.
The Mountain Division Trail in Fryeburg extends about 4 miles between the Maine Visitor Information Center on Main Street east to the pathway’s terminus at Route 113.
This is what happens when you gaslight the community to think that tourists are the town’s biggest issue. The targets are tourist related infrastructure, obviously. People are obviously taking matters into their own hands using firearms and chain. Saws to destroy property. The question is when will it turn from attacks on property to attacks on people ? A very dangerous situation. I hope they are caught and sent to jail very soon !

Could it be, with all of the animosity directed toward "visitors", that some locals have turned to expressing themselves in a more tangible way?
Let's face it, all you have to do is read The Conway Daily Sun to see how the locals feel about tourists and renters.
Word will get out if it hasn't already. "We don't like you here. Just drop off your money and go".
