March Fourth Marching Band

I’ve always been intrigued by Maine.  In high school I drooled over the brochures for the Bates Dance Festival, yet never made it there.  As an adult I am still enamored with the idea of attending the festival some time but my interest also lies in just seeing Maine.  It’s one of the few states in the U. S. that I haven’t stepped foot in yet (North Dakota, and possibly Arkansas, Rhode Island, and Delaware are the others).

Since returning to the East coast two years ago Tate and I have been daydreaming of a road trip to that northeast corner.  He’s never been either and it’s the only state he’s ‘missing’.

We’re taking off this evening for a big ‘ol roadtrip of visiting friends and family, camping, and hiking.

Our path will lead us through Brooklyn (and to a March Fourth Marching Band show tonight!), on to Boston to see friends, then to Portland and eventually Acadia.

Any Maine readers out there?  I would LOVE recommendations on hikes, restaurants, activities, coastal towns, campgrounds, or anything else!
