Maine is hard to say in regards to temps. It's been mostly in the 80's during the day and 60's at night during August. However, we stayed in our camper Saturday night (8/27) and at about 6:00 a.m. Sunday morning it was 44. Looking at the next 10 day's it will be in the 50's almost every night. Of course we also had a couple days of 90's and 70 at night. Be prepared for anything up here. Coast is usually cooler than inland during the day.

I would prefer to travel in the shoulder seasons when kids are in school and crowds are down but it will be hard to do being limited by returning to FL in October. Plus, and others will know this I'm sure, I was told by a guy from this part of the country (not NE) that he was told (I know) when he went to ME in June a couple years back that he was there at about the best time for lobster....I don't have any idea. Getting my folder together and got a Garmin RV GPS sitting waiting for me to hit the order button.
Of course you would know that DS called this morning and advised he has prostate cancer and they can't/won't operate on him due to severe heart damage so we'll have to see how that plays out. I'm still going to make my plans though.

Honestly lobster is good up here anytime of the year. They do catch the most from around June to December but they still catch them year round.
There, my first post and it's a double quote.
