Temccarthy1,
Thanks for the advice on visiting Maine.
My wife and I are avid sight seers and had not considered the closing of shops and attractions by early October.
3 or 4 weeks on the road is normal for us. So catching the fall colors on the way back is quiet doable.
Thanks again for the heads up on the 10/1 deadline. It was much appreciated.
You are very welcome! You deserve to get the whole Maine experience when it is all open in September and the crowds have thinned out! Plan a month in New England with 2 weeks on the Maine coast and then 2 weeks working your way back in October through NH, Vermont and upstate New York wine country to catch the foliage at it's peak.. It will be a spectacular trip I guarantee you! Best wishes!
