Visit Maine // What we LEARNED and you NEED TO KNOW!

[@guitarkis4969]

I've lived in Maine my entire 64 years. We (me anyway) love people from away here to explore and vacation. We have some jerks, but the large majority of us are a friendly type who want to show you around and enjoy your time here. Thanks for coming to visit!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

We loved our time up there and plan to be back this summer! Can’t wait.

I just love the way she looks at him! Going on Sunday, very excited! Great video

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Awe, thank you so much! Hope you had a great time! We loved it up there. 😊

[@isaBeast143]

Great video! I added several tips to my list for this summer

[@1StrangeAdventure]

We hope they are helpful 😊

[@isaBeast143]

Very helpful tips! I am adding a lot to my list of stuff to buy when we get there

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Glad it was helpful! Hope you have a great time!

Maine is so pretty but very different in so many ways. My brother and his wife lived there at Cape Neddick. We went to the lighthouses. I loved them. Be safe out there. Hope to see you guys again.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thank you, Cindy! Maine was amazing and hope our paths cross again one day. Safe travels to you as well!

[@Cruisethru1]

Thank you both for all the info... we are going to Maine (NOW after labor day 2025) cannot wait to see everything we can... we are from Mississippi so it will be a huge change but on my bucket list... thanks again.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

You're going to love it. Such an amazing place to experience!

[@OnTheMewve]

We would love to go to Maine one day! It’s on our list! Great info! Thanks for sharing ~Wilson and Kelli

[@1StrangeAdventure]

You should! Worth it!

[@teresaspaulding1120]

Thank you for your visit...a year late I know...2022 was amazing for leaf peeping! Actually though, after the peepers left so, we got to enjoy the gorgeous colors in a less hectic environment...so happy you enjoyed your stay 😊

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thank you so much. It was beautiful. We plan to return this year but it will be earlier in the summer. ☺️

[@teresaspaulding1120]

@@1StrangeAdventure I live in Rockland...a few blocks from the waterfront... it's beautiful no matter the season...hope you get to visit the area while your here...we have Rockland Head Light, Owls Head Light close by as well as Marshall Shores light within a 1/2 hr or so driving...all easily accessible with awesome history if you're interested 😉

[@maggiedoja]

​@teresaspaulding1120 hey! I've been looking at relocating there, any good advice??

[@teresaspaulding1120]

@@maggiedoja check with a realtor way in advance... median home prices are approx. $450,000.00...of course there are large fluctuations either side of the price spectrum but still costly in the Knox County area...rentals are practically non-existent... I live in a 2 bedroom duplex and our rent almost tripled about 1 and a half years ago... very hard to find good rentals unless you don't mind a commute... take your time... consider your options but to be honest? I will pay to stay... it's that amazing here.

[@craigreuter8083]

Great video. We were in Acadia the same time you were. The people are amazing, as is the fantastic scenery, (The lobster is pretty darned good too!). Cadillac Mountain was one of the most beautiful sites we have ever been to. You two are very informative & real, as well as all of the KZbin videographers you ran in to. Thanks again, hope to cross paths in the future.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it up there. We had an amazing time! it was so beautiful. We will definitely return at some point. =) Safe travels!

[@carasmussen27]

Thank you ! So helpful planning a trip for next year

Just found your channel and we have booked mid September for Belfast at Moorings Campground. Thanks for sharing!!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Hope you enjoy it! We loved it up there!

[@NursingOurTravelBug]

Harold, I think you just coined a new phrase: “The mullet of seasons”. LOL. Love it! You guys shared so many amazing tips! We will definitely be heeding your advice when we head up that way in the future.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

hahah. glad you liked that!

[@annearmstrong14]

Thank you so much. The info will be helpful when we go next year. It was great to meet y'all at the Huddle and hope so see you again down the road.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

It was awesome meeting you as well! Thank you so much for watching and hop you enjoy your travels. Maine is a must-see!

[@porterspilgrimage3011]

Great video. We have reservations in Maine next August and super excited to explore.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Going to have so much fun! Safe travels!

[@othellosmistake]

About to head up to visit family. Thanks for the coat reminder!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Hope you have a great time!

[@jacobdarling1524]

We definitely have fast food just like anywhere else but it is true that local restaurants are way more dominant here. Which I love. Portland alone has an amazing food scene.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

The food everywhere in Maine was amazing! We went all the way up the eastern coast and was not disappointed 😊

[@HomeOnTheHitch]

We went up to Acadia a year ago in September. It was absolutely beautiful and we cannot wait to go back - Driving through New York State as well...amazing...great video guys !!!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

It was such a beautiful state and one we will definitely be returning to! Thanks for watching!

[@cindysmith7600]

The "mullet season"! Love it! Thanks for all of the great information. Definitely things I would not have thought about (phone carriers, etc).

[@1StrangeAdventure]

LOL... You're welcome! Glad it was helpful. =)

[@chapmansus1]

Beautiful scenery and I love all of the lighthouse’s, sounds like a great trip to take

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Beautiful trip!

[@TripleWAdventures]

Awesome video, a lot of help. We are planning a 2 week trip there and to Salem the first two weeks in October 2022. Coming from North Georgia.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Glad it was helpful. That sounds like an awesome trip. Avoid 95 south through NY!! Watch our newest video to see why 😩

[@auntie.histamine]

Watching the vid in 2024 here, did you end up visiting? Hoping you had a nice visit to our wonderful state

[@TripleWAdventures]

@@auntie.histamine No we haven't got to go yet. Still on our bucket list.

[@venetachapin3145]

Be like our daughter and family. Go to Maine for vacations, it just 2. They moved there about 7 or 8 years ago they love it!!!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

LOL- If it wasn't for the winters, we would consider it for sure. =)

[@dianasellars6114]

We love Lighthouses! Can't wait to start out and building new friendships on the road.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Building friendships is a big part of RV life! Safe travels and check out those lighthouses! =)

[@TheNorthwoodsRVLife]

Bring deep woods off lol. great video.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks 👍

[@kennethhill3054]

I noticed that you haven't mentioned the Scarborough salt marsh it is awesome if you bring bug stuff. Bailey camp ground is maybe a mile twords Rt1 . It is run by the Maine Audubon society you can rent kyack's and canoes there and it is huge

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks for the info! I will add this to the list for the next time we are in Maine! There is a lot we haven’t seen or done there yet so if you have more tips, feel free to share 😊 It is greatly appreciated!

[@shellbobaround]

Great video❤️

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thank you!!

[@shellbobaround]

@@1StrangeAdventure since you liked Maine, you will like Nova Scotia. Hope you can make it some day

[@1StrangeAdventure]

@@shellbobaround we will! Work is the biggest obstacle at the moment. 😞 But we will try to make it happen.

[@danstehler9062]

My 5 year old was watching this and I told her you guys were halfway to the north pole. We’re getting a camper this next summer and she said “when we get our camper i wanna go camping at the North Pole!!!” Haha. Might be a long cold drive there.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

This is awesome! There is Christmas, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula. It's not Christmas themed, but still cool to be that far north in a town called Christmas. =) Have fun and get out there and explore!

[@suzanneferrar3781]

If want to come to maine ask a mainer where to go and yes we do have fast food restaurants

[@1StrangeAdventure]

We have friends that lived there and provided suggestions. If we return, what would you recommend?

[@raising8]

Good stuff! 🧡

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Glad you liked it! Thanks!

[@chriswardwell5170]

Yes bug dope is an absolute must I particularly recommend a brand called Ben's bug dope hunters best friend though it doesn't smell good but it is an active joke amongst us locals that the mosquito is the unofficial state bird

[@1StrangeAdventure]

haha! We heard something similar from the locals in the U.P. Michigan!

[@fordbikes]

We'll have to add Maine to our list. Note to self, after Labor Day, bring bug spray and jackets. Got it!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Sounds like you got it! Such a beautiful area!

[@Yvonne-qn9lh]

Kitchiekipi! I know right where that is!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Love that place!

[@carasmussen27]

Fast Food not true. There is a McDonalds in Freeport. It in an old house so it does not look like the regular McD's. Very beautiful in Maine.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks! I'm sure there are a few around but not as many as the rest of the country (that we have seen). Beautiful area indeed! Thanks for watching!

[@keithnorris8982]

I want to go to Maine next summer. I got a little confused on where and when. I thought I would start up at the top (north) and work my way down. So what date do you suggest? And, what end would you start at at? ALSO, I travel alone (so far) and am somewhat limited with my walking ability. This will be my first time in Maine. Thanx, AmazingKeith:-)

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Right after Labor Day was amazing but I'm sure there are other times that are just as good. I think we lucked out. The days are great and the nights are cool. Towards the north, you are seeing leaves change colors already. Everything around Ogunquit started closing down around the 2nd weeks of October. If I were doing it again, I would probably do the week of Labor Day up north. Acadia the following and then southern Maine the third week. Thanks for asking and when ever you decide to go, I bet you will enjoy it! Maine was amazing. =) Safe travels!

[@chriswardwell5170]

So you know you can hike and even hunt on private land unless they post the land against it Maine is one of the only states where that's a thing

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Also great to know. We plan to go back this summer!

[@chriswardwell5170]

And another thing about all that private land thing most of that forest land while private property is owned privately by logging companies so private yes but not private citizen own it's private company owned

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Great to know! Thank you!

maine, best state in America

[@1StrangeAdventure]

It is definitely a great place. We will be heading back there this summer 😊

[@jeffreyleohner3247]

Yes it is! I grew up in Portland! Miss living there most of the year, Winters are tough, but miss not having snow for Thanksgiving and Christmas! Best shellfish in America, one of the most beautiful states in the country! Live in Texas now, my wife grew up here, but she loves Maine, and New England, and we go back whenever we can, usually early October, to see my mom, and enjoy the cool, crisp, and beautiful fall foliage, do the coast, north, and south, and of course eat the best lobster, and best shellfish anywhere!
