We will be driving from Boston to Millinocket, but need to stop someplace for one evening, as we have an %26#39;extra%26#39; day. Any suggestions?

The whole dirve is only about 6 hours but if you want to break it up and get a chance to visit another area of Maine then I would stop somewhere along the southern Maine coast so you get to experience it a little as well. Anywhere south of Portland on the coast would pretty much be directly on route so you would not have to go out of your way. There are several nice towns along the RT1 corrodor south of Portland such as York, Wells, and Ogunquit. Is thare anything specific you would like to do for that one day, that may help better decide.

I don%26#39;t know that we have any specific expectations for this day--we are visiting Mt. Katadhin and then Bar Harbor and Camden later in the week. Is there anything else you think we should experience while we%26#39;re there?

If you plan to hike Katahdin, you better plan on spending the night close to the gate. The parking lots fill up fast!
