The September 28th Portland Press Herald had a list of great Maine drives for both color and scenery broken down by areas.
These were compiled by BJ Bangs, a freelance write working on articles about places to visit that are off the beaten path. My idea of an ideal roadtrip exactly.
MIDCOAST MAINE-- Route 123-- Harpswell Neck (Is that a name or what?)
Route 24-- Orr's and Bailey Islands
DOWN EAST-- Route 182-- Franklin to Cherryfield
Route 1-- Perry to Calais (anything along US-1 is good)
INLAND-- Route 113-- North Chatham to Gilead
Route 17 and 16-- Mexico to Wilson's Mills
Routes 4 and 16-- Madrid to Oquossoc
Routes 16 and 27-- Kingfield to Coburn Gore (another great name)

You think there just might be a "touch 'color in Maine? But, I guess now you'll just have to wait till next fall.
Of Course, Then There's Camden and Ba Haba. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
