There used to be a gas station/convenience store in Wesley ~1990.  
That's gone, now.  It must be difficult for the people who live in that 
neck of the woods to do things like grocery shopping, etc.

One summer returning from P.E.I. there was a major accident in one of 
the long, lonely stretches and the police detoured us east all the way 
down to Machias on Route 1 - adding 30+ miles (and 70+ minutes) to an 
already overly long trip.
