The North Pond Hermit: And Other Personal Stories of Rome, Maine

Rome, ME is so awesome that someone walked into the woods in 1986 and didn’t come out until 2013.  On this episode of Press Gang, we tell the story of Christopher Thomas Knight, aka “The North Pond Hermit”, and gab about our love for Rome (the one with Day’s Store, not the one with the Colosseum).Music:WANTED by BLUE STEELSources:The Atlantic.
