texas to maine in september

[texasfifthwheel]

we are planning an extended fall trip from dallas to maine and then down the eastern coast for a seafood feast along the way. we will go to arcadia np for a week to 10 days then down the coast to the eastern shore of Maryland and on to the outer banks of nc. any suggestions as to route from dallas to maine. we did this trip in 05 through upper ny to Vermont. loved the color and the people. that way was fine but im sure we missed a lot of things on the way. would appreciate suggestions from those who have made the trip or who might live in the area. btw, we have greatly downsized our 35ft fw to a Casita (little house) made right here in rice, texas. sure took the stress out of towing. thanks again

We'll be going in the opposite direction in a Hitchhiker II: Savannah to Nova Scotia, hugging the east coast all the way, including the Outer Banks. We'll honk when we meet a Casita along the way.

You could take I-20 to the Natchez Trace Parkway. Then in Nashville transfer To I-40 and go up the Cumberland Plateau in TN........ then I-81 up into PA and follow suggestions above. I-40 amd I-81 are very scenic. You could leave I-81 and drive Skyline Drive and visit the Luray Caverns.

I like the drive up through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (Rt 209) which runs along the Delaware river on the Pennsylvania side. There are some nice campgrounds and river activities.

From there, along the way Springfield Mass has the Springfield Armory National Historic Site. There's the Berkshires in Mass and as NHIrish says the White Mountains of NH. NH's lakes region is also very nice.

Of course there's a lot more to Maine then Acadia and the coast. Depending on your likes.

Let me know if you need any Maine info.

The White Mountains of NH, Portland ME, Portsmouth NH, Cape Cod,(with a side trip to Boston), Boston harbor islands, the waterfire festival in Providence RI....depends on what you are looking for.

Any questions....just ask!
