There are a lot of pretty little towns along the route which keep your speed down to about 35 mph. My wife and I love that route in the Fall when the tourists have gone home and the foliage is ripe.
... Also thought I could drive along Maine's coastal hwy while staying near Bar Harbor area.....
Enjoy your trip, there is a lot to see. (and good seafood to eat :) )
