Message: [QUOTE="TGW93, post: 4319571, member: 3099"] If getting there is half the fun: [LIST] [*]Take exit 5A off of I-295 and visit Bissell Brewery. [*]Take exit 20 off of I-295 and visit Maine Beer Company (it's right off the exit, down route 1) and then go to LL Bean/Freeport [*]Take exit 113 and go to Acadia via Rt. 3. Stop at the Cushnoc Brewery Annex (on your right as you leave Augusta) and Lake St. George Brewing. John's Ice Cream - which is a little before Lake St. George Brewing (by an Irving gas station) is great too. [*]When you reach Belfast, visit Reny's - it's a Maine Adventure - for any last second items you may need (it's a place like Ocean State Job Lot but "nicer" - btw - the Ocean State Job Lot is basically across the street near Hanaford's). [*]Downtown Belfast is a lot like other Maine coastal towns, but much less crowded than Bar Harbor. [/LIST] A tip for when you are driving home. If you have EasyPass (or even if you do not), stay in the right most lane in New Hampshire if traffic is heavy. It moves much more freely when traffic is heavy because everyone is jockeying for position to get through the "express" toll. However, there's usually at least one dedicated EasyPass lane at the toll plaza that you can use and only a handful of cars paying tolls. [/QUOTE]
