Maine

I have been to Maine twice.

The first time was to see the University of Maine (with my father) and we drove up 95 to Orono. We explored a little of the area around Orono and then headed south and checked out Acadia National Park. we returned along US 1 until we reached I-295 and eventually 95.

The next time was with my youngest daughter and one of her friends. We took I-95, 295 and then 95 again to Bangor and stayed at a motel there. Each day we explored a different section of Maine. We drove down to Acadia and spent a day there. On another day, we headed up the coast form Acadia and went to the eastern most point in the USA and then traveled up US 1 through Calais and then took route 9 back to Bangor. Another day we traveled to the top of I-95 and through potato country along US through Mars Hill, Van Buren, Grand Isle, Frenchville and finally Fort Kent where we started back south on route 11 through Wallagrass, Eagle Lake, Winterville, Portage, Ashland, Marsadis and eventually took route 212 back to I-95 and back south to Bangor. We took another trip to the Moosehead Lake region on various back roads and then all the way to Jackman and almost to Quebec on US 201.

We finished the trip by leaving on US 2 to New Hampshire.

So we saw a lot of Maine, but there is plenty left to re-visit someday!
