Advice on my NE vacation itinerary
Hi!
I'm from Montreal and will be spending my vacation time this year in Maine and New-Brunswick.
I'd like to get advice on the itinerary I picked between Old Orchard, Maine and St. John, NB. Link to Google Maps.
As you can see, I'd prefer taking scenic roads in my 8 and enjoying the drive instead of driving in a straight line for hours, however my Dad says the road I picked might not be a good idea. He says the "1" in Maine is dotted with small towns and every time I'll ride thru one I'll the speed limit will be down and I will end up driving for several more hours than if I had taken the highway 95 all the way.
I'd like to find a middle ground between "boring highway" and "potholed roads at 35mph".
Any input is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the links, it really has some great byways
However anyone can tell me if the "1" is a good road? Will I be able to keep a good pace or is there just too much small towns to go thru?
