Moose can be a problem in Maine. During the day collisions are rare. They are the size of a draft horse and easy to spot. Seeing one is a bit of a thrill.
At night they are dangerous. They are black and head lights do not illuminate them. Drive during the day and you won't have a problem.
Don't forget to fuel up before entering Canada. Diesel in New Brunswick right now is $1.34 per liter or $5.02 per US gallon. Same fuel, same refinery, costs $3.95 per gallon in Bangor Maine.
In St. Andrews try "The Harbour Front" restaurant and ask to sit on the water front patio. Try Moosehead Beer (ask for a Moose Green) with the steamed lobster. A true Maritime meal!
The Algonquin Hotel has fantastic food as well, but no view.
