If you've ever traveled Interstate 95 trying to enter Maine on any given summer holiday weekend, you've probably wished you'd stayed home except for the fact that the lure of Maine's vacationland can be overwhelmingly pleasant. It seems like the entire east coast verges along this highway and ends up in a bottleneck at those darned toll booths. From the rugged rocky coast to the remote Allagash region, the beauty and fun is unparalleled.

The canoes and kayaks atop the cars, the bicycles on the back and the hundreds of recreational vehicles heavily hint toward their occupant's destinations, while others most likely have been poring over guidebooks to find something a tad different to experience on their holiday. This guidebook has been revised many times in an attempt to help people find those "unique places" not often found on a map or easily accessible website.

I pored over this guidebook and thoroughly enjoyed my "trip." There are many unique places listed, but if you are thinking of extremely remote areas, this book would not be what you are looking for as I would say that most of the places are fairly accessible. Lodging, top area annual events, historical vignettes, and many other tidbits of information are included. Whether you are interested in visiting museums, checking out breweries or hiking the more remote region of Deboullie Mountain you'll want to check out this guide.
