It has been several years, so maybe someone closer can give you better information. We went to Arcadia National Park and Bar Harbor, from there took US 1 on up to Lubec. It then loops around, and goes on up to Eastport. It was two lane, but we were not in a hurry, and enjoyed the drive up the coast. Someone might also know if there is a ferry from Lubec over to Eastport.

Campobello (FDR's home)

You physically have to cross the border into Canada to get there. If you plan on it you will need a passport, passport card, or birth certificate and other picture ID such as a license. Here is their website:

Rt. 9 is called the "airline" but with many improvements over the past 10 or so years it's a fairly easy run. Very pretty drive.

Here is a link. If you enjoy reading at all, and/or know anything about Maine, you will enjoy. Most are available in e-books free through your library. Not the greatest literature, but a lot of fun to read.

Never heard of Sara Grave????

[Johno02]

If not, you need to.

Have you been reading Sara Graves's books again??

Thanks - one of the route maps showed this but seemed crazy to go so far up 9 before heading back down to Eastport.
