He gives a great mention to Maine for all those folks who think the east has nothing to offer.The quote goes like this.
Karl: Maine is the hardest terrain of all..I have ever seen. There is nothing out west that ever compares to that.
Scotty: Is that right? Maine? Huh.
Karl: Oh yeah...
Scotty & Eric: Huh?
Karl: Go on the Appalachian trail for 5 miles in Maine and your going to be like...oh my god. why am I going like 2 miles an hour?
