Wow - being the naive New Englander, I didn't realize the leaves turned already out that way. I'll be driving from CT to Quebec on Thursday, so I'll see where the foliage line is up this way.
If you ever drive from SC to Maine, you need to go thru VT and NH and then into Maine, especially the White Mountains in NH. The Kangamangus (sp) Highway gets crowded but is amazing and the lake regions are gorgeous.
Maine is big state and is very sparse outside the coast. Acadia park is a way's up but is another amazing place and the shoreline is beautiful almost everywhere.
