need some east coast roadtrip advice

possumapproved · September 10th, 2010, 08:36 PM

Okay so in about a month's time I'll be making the drive home from south Alabama to Maine, not on my bike(def not ready for that one alone

)

I was wondering if anyone could give me some good sites I could check out on the way

What part of Maine are you going to?

I call southern Maine home, and since I'm a nomad right now that means anywhere from Waterford(close to NH) to Old Orchard Beach

Are you looking for good roads or places to go?

You could check out Stone Mountain Park in GA and watch the laser show.

Heres a great site for some very cool scenic roads.

There are numerous things to see in Boston but parking is never fun. York, ME is a pretty nice town and should be empty now that the summer season is over. If you are looking for shopping there are the outlets at Kittery.

the blue ridge parkway is an amazingly scenic route to take - especially in the fall.... when are you travelling?

Laser show is after dark of course (it's projected on the side of the mountain), so you might wanna spend the day there, if you can spare it. I haven't been back since operations were handed to an amusement company (it was operated by the state) but there was always plenty to do. The gift shop at the top is cool and it's a really relaxing hike up the back side. If kids are coming, they'll love the train circling the mountain!
