Haven't been up that way in a long time, but when I was in Maine, I loved Ogunquit and Boothbay Harbour. We took a day sailing trip from Boothbay that included a clam/lobster bake on an island. It was great!

Not sure how much time you have or how far west in NYS you plan to venture but the Finger Lakes region is a beautiful area. .....

Really, you cant go wrong hopping on US1 once you reach the Maine border. All the little coastal towns are awesome. If you are planning on going inland more, Rangely Lakes area or Baxter state park are good. (used to live there, can you tell) LOL

Thanks. I saw that place featured on one of the Food Network programs (Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives maybe ?) We'll look for it on Rt 1 if we are down that way. I have heard mixed reviews on driving Rt 1. Some say good things about scenery and attractions, others don't like the traffic and congestion. So in mid-September, once schools are back in session, what are the places to avoid, and what places to not miss on Rt1 ? (in addition to Reds)
