Vacation to the Northeast
« on: September 05, 2015, 01:36:34 PM »
My family would like to visit the Northeast later this mouth. Any place that is a must see and do. We are from ILLinois and it is still hot here. We are open to suggestions as we have not been to that part of the country yet. Thanks for your help

Bar Harbor is nice, very busy with tourists this time of year,. I'm not a big coastal guy myself I live about 7 miles from the ocean but the drive up route 1 has many different coves and islands, great food and friendly people. I myself like the western side of Maine and northern NH, if you are driving from Illinois, I would take the time to enjoy northern NY's route 11, cross into Vt at Rouses point and down through Grand Isle to Wilkes Barre and get onto route 302, follow 302 into Conway NH, this brings you down through Crawford's notch and the beautiful White Mountains, route 302 will bring you about 30 miles north of my place here in southern Maine, when you get to Portland go north to Brunswick and up route 1 to Bar Harbor, if you have the time keep going north to Calais, the northern coastal section from Bar Harbor to Calais is the way coastal Maine used to be! Take your time and enjoy it all and feel free to stop in for a visit!

We are planing to visit New Hampshire and Vermont. What is the interest with New York's 11 and not go straight up from Albany?

Route 11 is nice farm country with scattered small towns, the bad part is all the darn windmills, it is very close to the Canadian border so shut off your phone or you will be charged for the Canadian tower usage.

Yep, dam windmills. When we drove to Normandy the French do it a little differently than we do in Indiana, instead of windmill farms they have 3 here, 6 there, 8 there, 2 over there, etc.
Got real tired of looking at the dam things after awhile, just ruins the landscape.

I live in corn country where the land is flat and the dirt is black as coal. We have wind mills in the neighboring counties not to far away. The county I live in has not let them build very many here.

You will not find a flat spot in either Vt or NH if you travel the route described, as a matter of fact if you measured the legs on the livestock living on the farms , one side is shorter than the other.
